Make a dollhouse bed skirt

 Dress your mini bed up with a dust skirt!

Gather these supplies:

Scissors
 • Cotton fabric
 • Tacky Glue • 
Ruler
 • Bed

This is a quick way to add a bed skirt to your miniature bed. You can do this technique for any scale. I made a bed from recycled building materials I had on hand. You can either make a bed or use one you already have.

Cut two equal sized squares for the bottom bed corners. When you cut them out be sure to leave enough room for a bottom hem. They will need to wrap around the corner about an inch on either side of the bed.

Use a little bit of Tacky Glue to make a bottom hem. About an 1/8” fold.

Glue one side onto the bed as shown and then snip away some of the extra fabric on the top fold. This will hide the folded fabric edge from view.

 Now fold over and glue the fabric you just snipped to the bed as you did the first fold.

 Repeat these steps for the other side of the bed skirt corner.

Next, cut a piece of fabric that runs from one side to the other across the bottom of the bed. Leave room on both sides for a 1/8” side hem.

 Use Tacky Glue to make a 1/8” hem on both sides of the fabric.

 Make a bottom 1/8” hem on the same piece of fabric with Tacky Glue.

Glue it to the bed on the top and sides so it will stay down.

Glue another piece to the center of the bed on both sides. Be sure the bottom has an 1/8” hem.  You don’t need to have side hems on this piece because it will be covered by other sections later.

Be sure to glue it to the top and sides so it stays down. Make a crease with your fingers to be sure it stays folded over while it dries.

Now add the left and right to both sides. Make side and bottom hems and glue them on as you have before. You just want that center piece to peek out a little.

 Put your mattress on and make your bed.
