When we were redoing our room last month, I was surprised how many little details make a space feel finished. The bedskirt is one of those.
Our previous bed had a wooden frame that hid the box springs. We were ready for a new look, so kept the headboard only and put the bed on metal rails. I needed a fast, frugal solution for hiding the box springs.
I found an easy answer in 2 twin flat sheets from Walmart. ($4.88 each.) 1 sheet would have done it, but then there would have been sewing involved.
Here’s a quick video, explaining how it works. Something more permanent could be made with velcro and hot glue. I plan to do that soon. The pins work well, but my kids come and stand by the bed to talk to me in the night and step on the bed skirt–which pulls out the pins… Changing the sheets was easier than I thought. Just by remembering the skirt was a little fragile I could work around it without pulling it all apart.
