This quick and easy makeover recycles a plain flatbed sheet into a bed skirt.
Bring an air of bohemian romance into your bedroom in only seconds by creating a bed skirt using a plain sheet, creating an intimate space for your special someone. Plus, it is one way to recycle older or unused bed sheets.
The Queen size bed in our example has one mattress; therefore, a king-size flat sheet was spread over the mattress, allowing the sheet to reach the floor. The flatbed sheet’s loose fit creates a relaxed bed skirt that complements the duvet’s plush softness.
You can sew two flat sheets for more extensive size beds. Try matching the bed skirt color with the pillowcases, or use complementary colors.
If your bed has both a mattress and box spring, place a flat sheet between the mattress and box spring to allow the ‘skirt’ to reach the floor. A bed skirt should reach close to the bedroom floor or beyond but never end too far above the floor.
By experimenting with various patterns, accents, colors, fabrics, and multiple sizes, you can easily update your bed and bedroom appearance while you help the environment by recycling bed sheets.
