No, not for me . . . for a mini-Christmas tree! 
I used this small tree in my classroom when I was an elementary teacher and decided to put it on a side table this year to showcase some of our homemade-by-family-and-friends ornaments. To make the skirt, I:
cut a 24-inch diameter circle from the thrifted red tablecloth I used for my argyle pillow and opened one side,- cut a 3-inch diameter circle in the center,
- used a remnant from my snowman pillow to make a bias edging for the top,
- sewed on some fancy red and white rick-rack from my stash,
- machine-hemmed the sides and bottom, and added my no-sew felt peppermints.
It was a “free” project for me since I already had all the materials and adds a festive touch to a favorite little spot in our living room. ♥ P.S. Three peppermints to go . . . one more project!
That is so stinkin’ cute!!!!! Love it! Will explore such for my little tree! (When I get it out!!!!!).
Thank you, my exclamation-point loving friend!
That’s the great thing about a ‘puter…….no “ribbon” to wear out!!! Typewriters never worked well for me!!!!
so nice!
love everything you used from your previous projects! 
very smart and cute! 
Thank you! I’m having fun with these little peppermints!!!
I want to wear that skirt myself! It’s so cute!
Well now, that’s the nicest compliment I can think of!
This is so cute! Hehehe… I thought it was for you at first! LOL!
I USED to wear them . . . now I blush to see those photos!
Omg you had me chuckling sweetie!! That is a very cute tree skirt!
Thank you, Lisa! And I couldn’t resist the title for this post!
Just thought you should know that I almost bit it on my bike oogling this post. Super cute! Why was I checking my email on my phone at night while riding a bike? Sigh. I’m foolish.
Wow, you must be quite the multi-tasker! But no accidents, please!!!
Very nice Tree Skirt, and I like the idea of the Peppermint Touch. Also thank you for sharing the info. Best, Mtetar
You’re very welcome! You’ll like the last peppermint project (tomorrow) since you have a special little granddaughter!
Thank you in advance and we both look forward to seeing it. Mtetar
Here you go!

Katherine, I bet you were everyones favourite teacher. You always have such great enthusiasm for what you do, that’s awesome.
What a sweet thing to say, Boomdee! THANK YOU!!!
Oh my too cute!!
Thank you! It’s fun to make things out of the stash, isn’t it?
That is so cute! Love the idea of using the peppermints. I have a plain red tree skirt so after I make my garland tomorrow I may make a few extra to sew on that.
That will be perfect!!! Can’t wait to see your creations!
Great idea and soooo cute! Much fun is being had with those peppermints
I know!!! It’s a good thing I ran out of red felt or I’d REALLY be going crazy!!!

I’m glad I finally had the time to catch up on all your nifty sewing (and non-sew) projects. This tree skirt is adorable and perfect for using up those left-over felt ‘candies’. You always amaze me with your creativity – and LUCK (winning all that free stuff)!
Thank you! It helped to get a super-huge editing project done! To repay me for all the overtime I spent, I get Fridays off for the rest of the year, plus Christmas week. Fun, fun, fun!
Nice! Enjoy those Fridays!
So cute!!
Thank you!!!
Cute!
Thank you, Mary!
This is so cute!
Thank you, Sarah!
