Nature has been making snowflakes for ages without once trying a color other than white. Admirable consistency, to be sure, but the floor beneath a Christmas tree can afford a bit more imagination.
This 54-inch velvet skirt scatters embroidered snowflakes across a bright white field, each stitched in multicolor thread. Colorful pompoms and tassels add texture and a handmade, bohemian air, and the mix sits comfortably with eclectic, shabby chic or traditional decorating.
Made of a cotton and polyester blend, it parts along one seam and fastens with three ties, so it goes around the base without anyone lifting the tree. The forecast for December: flurries, in every color.
