I needed a huge tree skirt...

[FutureSgtsWife 0]

and since the only one I found that was big enough was $400, I decided to make my own.  I bought a large round tablecloth, cut a center hole, cut a slit down the side, cheated the hem by using fusible web (and not sewing it...) - and used snowflake dingbats for the design.  I used a yard of white flock vinyl - and LOVE how it came out.  Erik is especially pleased since the bank account saw a savings of $380 by me doing it myself....

And just imagine the profit margin of the company selling the $400 skirt..

Nice job, I love DIY awesomeness.

Great idea!  Did the vinyl flock just stick to the table cloth like vinyl to windows or did you have to heat press it on?  I guess I'm not sure what Vinyl Flock is?!  Looks

It's heat-applied.  I like it because the weave of the tablecloth doesn't show thru the vinyl.

Banner... how do you think I wound up with a vinyl plotter??  I saw wall words, ordered one, paid a damn fortune for a saying that has yet to be hung up in my house - and said "ohhhh I can make those...."  And here I am.
