The technique itself is ridiculously simple and could easily be made while watching a favorite holiday show. Here’s what you’ll need: A nice thick rope makes (which will make a very sturdy tree skirt), colorful bakers twine, and glue.

Start by unwinding a piece of the rope. Wrap baker’s twine intermittently along the rope (we used about 10-20 wraps per each stop), spacing the wraps about every foot. Finish each wrap with a knot. Use a small bit of hot glue along the edge of each rope round to create a surprisingly sturdy bind. Just keep winding, twisting twine, and gluing!
