They've been around for eons. I remember how my great-grandmother used them to tack her doilies onto the arms of her chairs, hahaha. As for the duvet clips, some duvet covers come with little ties inside the corners that you wrap around and tie tightly around the corners of the duvet itself. You can also stitch in some twill tape or even shoelaces for that, too. Funny that they’re nicknaming upholstery tacks “bedskirt pins” these days. They’ve been around for eons.

I used those bedskirt pins in my last home and they were awful. The bedskirt looked beautiful, but I tuck in my sheets when I make the bed each morning. The sheets tuck in on top of the bedskirt pins. Ouch. Every morning for six years I would forget those dang pins were in there and shove my hand forcefully in to tuck in the sheets. Just hitting the plastic top hurt and bloodied my hand. Every once in a while one would come out and impale me as well. Fun times. The stapling idea sounds good (until you need to wash the bedskirt).

I am STILL searching for something light, mod, and graphic to put in a chocolate bedroom, and I keep coming back to yours. Help?

It works the same as the upholstry pins, but it's lots cheaper. I've done it for years and it works like a charm.

I don't know if it'll work 100% but it sounds ok. The only problem is....I don't sew! :) I was actually thinking about possibly making loops inside my duvet cover and then adding buttons to my actualy comforter.
