DIY Pool Noodle Bed Bumper

Today I want to share with you how I made no-sew crib bumpers for our twin boy nursery. Before I begin, I know that bumpers are contr...

Crib bumpers are designed to create a soft barrier around the lower edge of the crib to prevent a baby from sticking arms and legs through the gaps in between the crib bars. Let's explore more about them, and whether you should choose them or their alternatives.

Hey there! If you're already a mom, there's one thing you know for sure.... babies are EXPENSIVE! I learned that fairly quickly with Easton.

I suggest leaving a little extra fabric at the ends so you can tuck it in instead of leaving the pool noodle exposed. When the glue dries just push it over the top of the rail.
