Deck the Halls

Bill and his finance, Heaven, are in their new home for Christmas.  This is the first year for Bill to have his own Christmas tree so I offered to make them a special tree skirt.   I asked if they had any suggestions and Heaven told me they would be decorating in blush pink, mint green and metallic gold.  I had that sinking feeling - those colors aren't an easy order for a Christmas tree skirt, but I asked so I will try my best.
I headed to JoAnn fabrics to see if I could get inspired.  I walked around with a cart for a least two hours trying to  decide what colors would work.  I'd pick up this bolt and that bolt, but I couldn't find any mint green.  What can I do?  I then came across a bolt of upholstery fabric that was a great mint green.   At that point it all came together.  I was not going to use the pink and just go with the mint green, metallic gold and and white with metallic gold polk a dot.  I picked a great tree skirt pattern from Amy Butler that had large covered buttons.  So using her idea, but revising to work with what I had to work with, I made this cute tree skirt.

The mint green upholstery fabric has a herringbone texture.  And with the weight of this fabric it drapes nicely around the base of the Christmas tree
