Updating a bed skirt the straightforward way! Guest

Beds and Headboards

This beds and headboards walkthrough stays in the order the work happens.

My friend Autumn from Design Dump linked this up to our last party and I think it is quite genius! We all want the easiest way, right? Well look at what she did to give her daughters bed skirt a little more umph!: (p.s. If you want to see some solid! no, SPECTACULAR home remodels, please click over to her site and scroll down her sidebar, your jaw will drop!!)
i am still working on a few small projects for my oldest daughters room. one of those projects was to add some trim to her existing bedskirt. the problem? i didn’t want to remove the bedskirt to add the trim. so. i. didn’t. (tooooo lazy) so, i came up with the following strategy… here’s what i used:  pom pom trim  (this is a box pleated queen bedskirt,  and i used about 9 yards of trim) fabric adhesive LOTS (and lots) of binder clips so, basically, i just applied a thin strip of fabric adhesive to the bottom of the skirt, and attached a binder clip to help hold the trim in place until it dried. like i said, i used a LOT of clips… about one every 2-3 inches. when i got to a corner, i applied some glue to the backside of the skirt, wrapped the trim, and held it in place with a large binder clip. my bedskirt has three sections, and so i did this in three stages. as soon as the glue dried (about an hour),  i moved on to the next section. ta—da! the well fitted way for a lazy girl to add trim to a bedskirt without removing it. 
Isn’t that such a great option, it would work for drapes and possibly pillows too! Any other options of where you could use this great quick tip?
