See how the pocket holes are getting covered up.
Diy crib slat covers. You ll also want to know if your crib side starts on a slat or an opening. These are 1 2 boards that i nailed in place using wood glue and 1 25 finish nails. Here is one side finished up. You have two options when creating a slipcover for your crib mattress.
Now i attached both of these pieces i created using the crib slats. We marked where each slat would go on two 1 x 3 boards cut to 53 in length making sure that they were all 2 3 8 apart based on crib standard requirements slats should be no more than 2 3 8 inches apart. The gaps between the two outer slats and the crib sides will be less than 2 3 8. The front of my crib starts on an opening like the diagram above but the sides actually have a slat at the beginning.
To find the height of your strip of fleece take the height of the crib rail yellow and double it. My diy crib rail cover will be 18 wide including the ties. I got the idea for them from a product called wonder bumpers. To the width add 8 for the ties you ll have 4 ties on each side.
These are the crib bumpers i made for my second daughter rylie. Our crib is the same on the 3 sides at 10 around. This is a less expensive no sew option which allows you more. You can make a permanent slipcover that will never be removed or you can create a temporary cover that can be removed for washing.
Step 2 choose between a permanent or temporary cover. Temporary slipcovers are the best option.
