I have some DIY avocado dyed ornaments and wanted to add a big of the same color somewhere else in my decor. I decided a tree skirt would be a good solution!

What You Need for You Avocado Dyed DIY Tree Skirt
  • 1 yard white natural fabric (cotton, linen, silk, etc.)
  • 4-5 avocado pits and skins
  • Scissors
  • Optional – Serger

Start by cutting out a 36″x36″ square if your fabric wasn’t already cut to a yard.

Next you will cut your square into a circle. Mine isn’t a perfect circle but what I did was fold it into a triangle by folding along the diagonal, than folding it on the opposite diagonal to make a smaller triangle. I then rounded the pointy edges. It gave me a pretty decent looking circle!

Then I cut the tip with while it was still folded to make a smaller hole.

I unfolded my skirt and cut one straight line so I could open it to wrap around the base of my tree.

Next you will serge all the raw edges! You could also just fold them over and sew them with a normal sewing machine or you could leave the edges raw. The fabric I used kind of crinkled and I know it makes cool raw edges because I used it that way for a table runner!

Once you’ve washed your skirt, start boiling your avocado pits and skins.

I wadded my skirt into a ball and tied a rubber band around it to give it a little variation in color.

After it comes to a boil, bring it down to a simmer and put in your skirt.

Let it sit like this for an hour. Turn your heat off and let it sit 8 or more hours.

Take it out and rinse it. Give it another good wash and put it under your tree!

I love the natural soft touch this gave the base of my tree.
