Easy
When decorating my soon-to-be daughter’s nursery (see nursery here). I wanted to add a feminine touch to the otherwise somewhat-gender-neutral space. Thus, I decided to add a Ballerina skirt made out of tulle.
It was much easier and went faster than I thought.
All you need is tulle and scissors.
You will need 1/2 yard of tulle for every crib bar (depending on the crib). If the crib bars are far apart you may want to run a ribbon or rope around and tie the tulle to that. Our crib (Graco Lauren) only needed 2 layers of tulle per bar.
We bought 14 yards x 54 inches of coral tulle and 14 yards x 54 inches of turquoise tulle. My mom and I folded it so we could easily cut it into 14ths (without having to make 14 different cuts). Here is a great deal on a bolt of 54 inches x 40 yards of tulle.

Here is the finished Ballerina Tulle Crib Skirt. It was very easy, quick, and inexpensive!
Then we cut each piece/yard in half. We ended up with 28 strips of coral and turquoise (56 in total) of tulle.
We took the tulle strips and simply double knotted them on each bar. We adjusted/raised up the tulle to the level we wanted to have it at and it stayed because we tied the knots securely.

Has anyone else thought that all these loose pieces of tulle might be a chocking hazard? We all know how small children like to put everything in their mouths.........
