I bought a styrofoam Christmas tree about 8 1/2 in. tall.....
I took some material & ripped it into 2 inch strips.... The bottom two rows were about 1 1/2 in strips... I wound the material around the part of the tree that I wanted to cover three times(3x) for a full ruffle....I cut this length of material off & I sewed by hand a basting stitch through the top of the material.....I gathered to bunch it up to look like a ruffle..... I attached with pins around the tree, making sure my ruffle was evenly distributed.... If you want more of a ruffle wrap 4 times or if you want less of a ruffle, wrap 2 times...
I like the primitive effect so I like the rough edges & the strings from the material
just add to the charm....
