crafty ladies!

Ok, help. My level of creativity stops with scrapbooking. I need to figure out how to make a no-sew fabric crib bumper thing. I don't need the padding or anything. But the only wall space big enough for Alice's bed has an electrical outlet on it. She has recently discovered it and plays with it to keep from falling asleep. The plug ins are covered, but I still don't like it.

So can I just tie some fabric to the slats? Or would it even work? How would I get it to stay up without falling?

    That's a tough one for me. My first thought is sticky back Velcro. The only problem is she might discover the Velcro and play with that too.
    It's not expensive though so you could get the length of fabric you need and apply the Velcro at the end.

  • Ive tried pulling it back some. She just rolls over and sticks her arm further out the slats. She's a smart one. LOL I think you're right though - covering the whole outlet & plate will be easier than a bumper.

  • Can you remove the outlet cover and replace it with a flat cover sealing up the outlets. May be check Home Depot or lowes

  • I don't have an answer but do have a similar issue w the outlet. Right now we have a piece of cardboard over it so he can't reach it.

  • Would a breathable bumper serve the same purpose and not cause you to have to make something?

  • Mrs.G123 - I am trying to avoid spending the $35 to buy a breathable bumper. Lol

    So, looks like I will cover the outlet. Thanks ladies!

  • You can have my breathable bumper. It has been sitting in Ashleys closet for a couple months now. I tried to donate it but they can't accept it.
