Wonder Pets! Christmas Tree Skirt

Save the Holiday with a tree skirt that depicts the over-sea and under-sea adventures of the Wonder Pets.

Supplies:
Wonder Pets Tree Skirt Template
1 yd. medium blue felt
1 yd. yellow felt
Small amounts of felt in the following colors: White, red glitter, regular red, deep red, deep blue, yellow, white, purple glitter
4 yd. blue braid trim
Large mug or tumbler
Clear-drying fabric glue, such as MagicTac
Fabric scissors
Tracing pencil/pen

Directions:

Step 1
From the blue felt, cut a circle about 32 inches in diameter. Cut out the wave template. Align it with the outer edge of the blue circle and trace. Now cut along the wave shapes and then continue cutting to create a 4-inch-wide circular border.

Step 2
From the yellow felt, cut a circle about 32 inches in diameter.

Step 3
Place the blue border on top of the yellow circle, aligning edges. Glue in place. Let dry.

Step 4
Find the center of your tree skirt. Place a mug or tumbler upside down at the center, and trace it to create a hole for the tree trunk. With fabric scissors, cut from one edge of the skirt in to the marked hole, and then cut out the hole. Reapply glue if any of the edges now lift up.

Step 5
Print and cut out Wonder Pets Tree Skirt template. Trace the shapes onto the corresponding colored felt (as indicated on the printables).

Step 6
Arrange the pieces on the skirt. Glue them in place. Let dry.

Step 7
Turn over the tree skirt. Carefully glue the flat edge of the braided trim to the underside of the skirt, allowing the braid to extend beyond the edge. Let dry. Turn over.
