My husband and I got our Christmas tree last weekend and we were sent home with a white plastic tree skirt. We thought this was great since we don't already own a tree skirt, but after we put it on we realized it actually looked like a garbage bag. So we're on the hunt for a tree skirt, not a traditional or cheesy one, but perhaps something nontraditional to suite our tastes. Check out some ideas after the jump.

#5 made me laugh, it's the exact same tartan as my old school uniform
I use a vintage holiday-themed table cloth for a tree skirt around my white tree. Works great, and goes with my vintage ornaments.
#8 is a disemboweled plush toy. Um, no thanks.
I found mine at an estate sale last year - it's from the 40's (It looks like it, at least) and homemade. It's the best - but I think that that burlap is adorable.
