Covering the Base

When the time comes to trim the tree, most of the focus is on the ornaments, ribbon and tinsel that hang from the branches. Don't forget to look down and think about the base. Tree skirts and tree collars dress up the bottom of a tree. Today, skirts and collars are stepping outside the box with a variety of styles that will make a decorative statement.
