I love chatting with you.
You live you learn!.I just took my strips up to the bed, got out the hot glue gun and started sticking them right on to the base fabric that I’d already put up there.. You can see that I really didn’t worry about how straight my fabric strips are.
And now that the skirt is done, you’d never know!Well, YOU know, but only cause I just told you.I just attached each fabric strip layer with a single line of glue at the top and let the layers hang down over one another.. At the top, I finished it off with a nice wide satin ribbon..
The sneaky thing is, that since I sewed the seams on each fabric strip, it really looks like the whole thing was meticulously sewn together over hours and hours and hours.. Of course,.you and I. know the truth.. And the truth is that I got my awesome bed skirt for Kennedy’s room and still had time to do fun things like eat and sleep.. As for cleaning, I just vacuum it gently if I see any kitty furs stuck to it, but it’s not really a high-mess area, so this bed skirt getting dirty really isn’t a big issue..
There are so many neat, creative ways to make a bed skirt out there and now here’s another one!
Have you ever made your own bed skirt?My name’s Courtenay and I live here in this house….
with my husband Chris and these two cute things:.Our house is very (very very) much a work in progress, but I share the whole process here on the blog, so that helps to make all the work we’re doing around here a little more fun.
I also really love to share DIY homekeeping tips and tricks during the loooong breaks we sometimes take in the progress of our renovations.That’s real life though!
