How to make the bumper pads:
1. Caitlin chose 3 fabrics for the nursery which will be mixed in the bumper pads.
2. The darkest color was picked for the piping.
3. The printed fabric was cut to cover the bumper padding with an additional 1/2 inch seam allowance (We used an old bumper padding set to save money).
4. Next- Sew on the piping.
5. Sew on ties. We made ours from the dark fabric to match the piping....but ribbon will work. We pinned the ties to printed fabric to prevent them from accidentally being sewn in the seam when the next fabric was added to the other side.
6. Next- lay out different fabrics (cut and sew together) long enough to cover the opposite side of the bumper pad.
7. With right sides of bumper fabric together....sew together ....leaving one end open. Turn fabric to right side.
8. Insert bumper padding
9. Sew the last end and put on the crib!
10. The last picture shows the bumper pad and skirt (made and posted in an earlier)!
