Baby Bird Nursery Crib Rail Cover
Today's addition to our Baby Bird Nursery is this cute and functional crib rail cover. As baby gets bigger and starts to teeth, there is nothing more delicious to them than the wood railing of their crib. I wanted a coordinated and soft alternative to the plain plastic crib rail covers available in the store so I once again decided to create my own! Here is what I started with
- fabric: (2) 6"X45" , (4) 6"x4.5"
- Ribbon: (10) 6" pieces
- thread
- pins
Pin one 4.5"X6" piece to each end of the 6"X45" pieces on their 6" sides with the printed sides of the fabric together.
Sew a 1/2" seam at each end so you will now have 2 long pieces. Press your seams open.
Next, take your 2 long strips and place them right sides together. On the long sides, sandwich your ribbons at approximate 12" intervals beginning about 1" from the edge and pin them in place through all layers. The second side can be done by matching placement with your first ribbons. Be sure the ribbon is between the fabric with the printed sides together.
Sew a 1/2" seam around 3 sides leaving one end open for turning. Be sure not to catch the ribbon from the opposite side when sewing. Turn your project.
Turn in the open end seam 1/2" and press. Sew a narrow seam to close the end. Press.
Fold the cover over the crib rail and tie the ribbons in double knots.
Perfectly cute, coordinated and functional!
Hope this helps save your baby's beautiful teeth!
