Nursery Bedding - Bumper Pad

We decided to use a white Babies-R-Us, Koala Crib Bumper. It was embellished with red bias ribbon for a personalized touch. It's very simple and adds to the overall bedding look. The bumper's total cost including ribbon was $31.05. The best part of this entire project was that we worked on it together and made every piece with care.

We have excess caramel linen fabric that will be used for a diaper stacker and crib sheet protectors. We will splurge on an additonal yard of circus print fabric ($12.00) to embelish these little projects.

Below I have outlined our project buget. The good news is we came in under budget! The bad news is we still need to buy a crib.
