HELP! My kit just arrived and I expected it to have directions on how to make a slit in it. It is a complete circle with an unfinished area in the middle so that a center can be cut out. I bet they did that thinking that an artificial tree could be put thru the opening. My problem is we get live trees that will not fit. The skirt needs to open somewhere to allow it to be put around the tree. I'm thinking for sure its going to take some one with a lot more latch hook experience than I have. PLEASE RESPOND as soon as possible with any ideas. Hope to get help soon,Janet
