Crib Rail Guard

 You will need:

- A piece of fabric the length of your crib rail and twice 

the width of around the top rail +2 inches (for scallops)

*If you are doing a straight edge than do not add the 2"

-Edging

-Contrasting fabric ( for the bows) 

Step 1: 
Scallop your edges.
  Start by folding your fabric lengthwise.

I wanted 5 scallops - So I took the length of my fabric divided by 5. I then took that measurement (7.5") and cut a scallop out of paper that was 7.5"x2" and used it to mark along my fabric edge. then cut on marked edge

Step 2:

 Attach edging.

* you can also add quilting in between fabric for cushion.

I simply attached a ruffle edged Bias tape.

Tip: I cheat - just place the fabric between edges of the bias tape and sew once :)
