Diy Wood Bed Skirt

The last bed skirt i made i ruffled it and sewed it onto a fitted sheet.

Diy wood bed skirt. I love this design and the neutral color. In looking at the link of the muslin that you bought the specifications the muslin is 58 inches wide. I used 1 box. Wrap diy bedskirt around bed.

What do you. Lay panels on the top sheet with the right sides facing the sheet and line up the edges. Attach 3 4 strips of fabric across the box spring to each side of the dust ruffle for extra hold. Wash dry iron the sheet you re going to use.

Two sides plus the foot of the bed measure the mattress itself. Keeping the bed skirt in place without lifting that heavy mattress is amazing in itself. The sheets cost me 9 00 each and the upholstery pins were 7 00 for a box. To determine the length of each fabric panel the bed skirt will consist of three panels.

One of the perks of having a sheet turned bedskirt is that if something gets on one of the bedskirt panels you can just spot treat it and throw it in the washer. Here s the how to for this simple diy. Making your own box for your bed frame is inexpensive and simple enough to construct in a weekend. Muslin fabric is pretty cheap and you can add whatever trim you choose.

Although metal frames are effective they lack in style. Drape the sheet over your box spring or bed platform. Pin the panels down and sew the panels to the top piece. Measure the space between the floor and the bottom of the mattress this is referred to as the drop.

I spent 12 50 per no sew bed skirt. Use upholstery pins to secure the sheet to the top of the box spring every 12 inches or so. Now you have your own diy custom bed skirt. Sew along the top ruffled shirring tape at both edges with either the grosgrain ribbon or twill tape to give a finished edge.

If your sheet is new wash it first because if it s going to shrink you want it to shrink before you size it perfectly for your bed skirt. Hot glue in place. For my case i lined it up with 16 panel 42 panel 16 panel right next to each other on both sides of the skirt. Keep the overlapping fabric on top in place with straight pins or use a staple gun to attach directly to the box spring.

Lay out the top sheet with the right side facing you. You can either attach the new ruffled fabric over the previous skirt or cut the skirt fabric and sew the new bed skirt to the panel. Each no sew bed skirt took me about 15 minutes to make including the time i spent steaming the after the fact. Instead of covering an unattractive metal bed frame with a bed skirt create a wooden box to sit around the bed frame to give it a platform bed look.

Adjust the sheet so that the edges just brush the floor. The simplicity of this idea is ingenious. The top mattress will hold the dust ruffle in place. Add this measurement to 4 inches for the hem plus 3 to 5 inches to tuck under the mattress.

Pull the extra fabric at each corner straight across to the side.
