I remember talking to one of my friends about bed skirts and she mentioned using tulle and making a ballerina bed skirt. So I decided to give it a try!
I used an old bed skirt that I had already, but didn't use, and cut the skirt part off so I just had the rectangle part. I bought a couple yards of pink tulle and cut it into strips the length of the end of the mattress to the floor plus an inch or two. I wanted it to drag on the floor a little.
Then I gathered the tulle and sewed it onto the rectangle piece. I actually did two layers of tulle on each side to give it a more fuller look!
Just a word of caution: Don't get the vacuum too close to the bed skirt! My vacuum likes to suck up the tulle like it's going out of style!
I bought the crib sheet on clearance at Target. It is actually a "boy" crib sheet, but it matched perfectly with my other daughter's bedding (also from Target).

How stinkin' cute! This is too adorably girly. I just might have to give it a try. The current crib-bedskirt situation is kind of a mess, ha. Stopping by way of a linky party.
Super cute. Tutus are adorable even on cribs.
I think I'm in love... that bed skirt is the cutest!!!
Umm...ya...why didn't I think of this ;-)

This is gorgeous! What a fabulous idea!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us on Shine on Friday!!
So glad I came across this. I have a large tutu I had made to go around the gift table for my daughter's birthday last month, and I have been hesitating/putting off/crafting something in my mind with ALL the tulle I used for it. I'm just going to put it around her crib for a bedskirt! Perfect!
What a cute idea! I'm sure any little girl would love to have this in their room.
I've featured you for Functional Friday!
Thank you for linking up!

Your decorating skills are mad. I love both your daughters beds. The princess skirt dust ruffle is about the cutest thing in the world. So awesome that you made it and you did a fabulous job too. I think it was smart to do two fuller layers. It is definitely made for a princess. Thanks for sharing at Monday Madness.
Too cute...sigh, wish I still had a little on in a crib to make this for.Would love it if you would link this up to our Rockin' link party going on now at RoCa and Company. Here is the link: http://rocaandcompany.blogspot.com/2011/11/you-rock-10.html. Come and show off what you got. Hope to see you there...
Remember...YOU ROCK!!

So cool! If I have a little girl, I'll have to try this. (I don't think my boys would like it! ;) lol)
I love this idea! Maybe I'll try something like that when my oldest gets her new big girl bed.
