A tree collar is a fun alternative to a traditional tree skirt. While a tree skirt drapes over the tree stand and the floor around the tree, a tree collar stands up on the floor and wraps around the tree stand and trunk. Heather Handmade show show you can create your own DIY tree collar from fabric. It’s an easy sewing project you can make in an afternoon. Go to Heather Handmade for the tree collar sewing tutorial.

The bag is simple, uses very little fabric (about 2/3rds of a fat quarter), has no fussy inside pockets (although you can add your own if you like), and takes me well less than 30 minutes to print the pattern, cut out and sew. But quick and simple doesn’t mean it’s not awesome!
It’s the sort of bag that is versatile enough to be used for lots of applications, not just cosmetics and toiletries. Keep all your pens and pencils in order, use it for a small first aid kit for the car, keep it in your desk at work for a few headache pills and other personal supplies.
Make some for yourself, for gifts or to sell.
