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).

I really like the color combos. Very cute!

This is gorgeous! What a fabulous idea!! Thanks for sharing and inspiring us on Shine on Friday!!
ReplyDeleteSo 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!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute idea! I'm sure any little girl would love to have this in their room.
ReplyDeleteI've featured you for Functional Friday!

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.
ReplyDeleteToo 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.

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