Ever buy a bed-in-a-bag and not need the skirt? Well, I came up with some perfect uses for it.

Items made from Bedskirt

Simple Valance topper

I took the skirt length wise and made a slip 1 1/4 inch to fit the rod. Check your rod for measurements. The hem is already done for you. Simple Valance topper.

Outlet and Switch Covers

Items made from Bedskirt

Then I took the switch and five outlets and cut about an inch in material longer both length/width wise of each plate. I hot glued the material to the plate. What's nice about hot glue is it can be taken off quite easily for changing decor look. Take some small scissors to cut out material for switches and plug-ins. Hot glue or tape to the back side.

Items made from Bedskirt

Picture Frames or Small Pillows

You can also cover picture frames or make small pillows for the bed. Most Bed-in-bags come with shams. I still have a lot of extra material to do something else if I desire. A fun coordinating way to use the skirt.

Laura,
Thanks for the remote idea! Maybe you can make one to show us how to go about it exactly? Were you thinking... hanging from between the mattresses? Great idea!

Excellent idea!!! Maybe another use could be to make a remote holder that hangs by your bedside, and for those who like dresser scarves, I think they would also work for that as well.

I just thought of something else...Cloth napkins.
Take a paper napkin or a cloth one you have in the closet as the pattern.
Thank you for your nice comments...

Cool what a great idea and thank you for sharing
your tips. I have a white ruffle that I nearly threw
away and now I will dig it out and use it.!
