˚tutorial˚ No-Sew Bed Skirt from a Curtain

When we moved we sold all of our bedroom furniture except for our mattress. I was tired of the random pile of blankets we had on our bed and the clunky bedroom furniture. 

During our bed makeover, I could not seem to find a bed skirt I liked that was affordable and I didn't want to spend a small fortune just to cover up the few things I have stored under there. 

After I discovered that are enormously large window needed three curtain panels instead of just two, I had an idea!


I cut the curtain in half the long way. Then, starting at the head board, I safety pinned it to my box springs. 


As I went, I covered the safety pins with a small piece of masking tape so that the pins didn't damage the sheet or the mattress that rested on it.


My bed is a queen size, and my panel ended a little bit after one long side.


I just pinned the grommets around the corner, and started pinning the other half of the curtain panel.


I kept pinning and wrapping the bed skirt around the edge of the bed until I ran out. I didn't make it all the way around, but it didn't matter because part of my bed is really close to a wall. No one will ever know. But, I could have cut up one last panel and continued around and then make a throw pillow from the last half.


Luckily my blanket covers the somewhat awkward corners and no one will ever know that I used a curtain panel as a bed skirt. Except you. 



So the next time you are looking for a bed skirt, check in the curtain isle. With a pair of scissors, safety pins, masking tape and about 15 minutes, you might have the perfect bed skirt.

Don't forget to check out where I party.

  7. Bed skirts are an additional accessory that can be found in many bedding sets. They improve the appearance of the bed and make the room look significantly more put together, especially if there are items under the bed that need to be hidden.
