Ever want something so bad, but you just can’t bring yourself to spend the amount being asked?!?!! I am sure ALL the time! Right?! I feel like that happens to me a lot, especially if I know I could make it myself…which brings my to this DIY project. I saw a darling gold and white tulle bed skirt on a website -that shall remain nameless 😉 It was $145 for a twin bed skirt, GLUP! I am sorry, but even if I could afford that, I just could not allow myself to buy a bed skirt for $145 to put in a 3 year old’s room. Maybe I am cheap…but I just couldn’t do it! So I ran to JoAnn Fabrics for HOPE. The hope that I could find some tulle cute enough to calm my troubled soul. Ha! I promise it wasn’t that dramatic.
JoAnn’s had some pretty off-white tulle with gold glitter on it. PERFECT! I then ran over to Target and got one of the plain white bed skirts from the Shabby Chic line that they have.
I had my tulle cut about 2 ft longer than the twin size skirt so that I could create a ruffled tulle skirt. I gathered bits of the tulle and pinned it directly to the pre-made bed skirt. It was very easy to sew on, but glitter got everywhere!! Hahaha! My husband loved that.
Glitter everywhere or not, this turned out SUPER cute for little Miss Ruby’s “big girl” room.
Full room reveal will be next week!! It is a really cute and happy room. To see Ruby’s old nursery click HERE!
