Your christmas tree skirt should be larger than the diameter of your stand, but smaller than the diameter of the outer branches of your tree. [substeps] You can find the diameter by measuring the entire width of the circles formed by the stand and the tips of the tree's outer branches. You can do this by measuring in inches, or by using a tape measure and measuring a tree from the tip to the base of each tree branch. [title] Take your measurements and work them into order of desired depth. Mark the circumference by putting a pencil or pen mark along the bottom of the branch to determine the distance between the outer and outer branches. [substeps] Mark the height based on the width of the tree. For most christmas tree-related skirts, these measurements probably aren't all that significant. When choosing a skirt, make sure that it is fit from the hips up.
