Thank you for this! I just couldn’t find a bedskirt in the design I wanted to so I used your tutorial this past weekend and love it! Our baby’s room is now complete…except for the baby who may make her appearance any day now!

They were all ironed together into one long strip, so it sort of looked like a long strip with seams in each corner. Then I took that long strip and velcro’d it to the top edge of the crib all around it (no velcro was used on the sides, just along that top metal rail as shown in the pics). The extra inch on all sides was for the adhesive (since we hemmed all four sides) and then we just velcro’d the top to that ledge and it seemed to work out well! Perhaps make it an extra inch taller if you’re scared yours will end up too short after the velcro step? You can always velcro it a bit higher if it drags too much at first. Good luck!

Hi there, I have my fabric and adhesive and I’m ready to go but wanted to clarify some things first..the crib skirt you made for Clara’s room you put all 3 pieces together into one piece using the adhesive. For this skirt is each panel hung separately or are they adhered on the sides too? Also, you left an extra inch on all 4 sides? 3 of them for the adhesive and 1 of them for the velcro? Thank you! This is my first big attempt at something crafty so I’m a bit nervous!

Just measure around the perimeter of your crib with a tape measure and see how long each side has to be. Since you can create two ends and one long middle piece it might take around 2 yards, but I’d measure just to be sure. Good luck!

Hi there! I love this project. Do you know how many yards did you used for this project? I am woking on my first baby’s nursery and will for sure do this project.just want to make sure I’ll buy enough fabric.
thanks a lot!

LOVE IT!!!! I’ve been searching and searching for affordable options for a super-cute nursery. We’re expecting twins in June so we’ll have to buy 2 sets of bedding and the bedding we like is, of course, very spendy. This is a wonderful option to make the nursery look richer and warmer with more coordinating fabrics in a DIY way! I will totally do this. Thanks!
PS- I love your blog, but this is my first time commenting. Thanks for all of your adorable ideas and advice! :)

Maybe use a yardstick or a tape measure to get a straight line and pin it or use painters tape to hold it down in a straight line so you can iron the hem tape on straight? The ring clips are a bit forgiving so hopefully it’ll turn out great!

Hey guys!
I know I’m a little late commenting, but I would love to use this idea for a gift for new parents or curtains for me and my new hubby! But, question! If the fabric I choose doesn’t have a geometric pattern to follow so that I know the iron-on tape will make a straight hem, what is the best/easiest way to assure that my hem won’t come out looking like an ocean wave?? Love, love, LOVE your blog! Can’t wait to see all the new house decor pics!! :)

This is fabulous. After a million hours online and at stores searching for something different I now can just head to the fabric store and conquer the bed skirt myself!
