Kids sports bedding is a fun and inspirational way to decorate a child’s room that helps them to feel team spirit and to express their interest in sports. However, if the prospect of looking for and buying another bed set is daunting, it is possible for the crafty adult to make a kids sports bedding set with odds and ends that may even be around the house. Creating this project with the child is also a great way to bond and share an interest with them. Depending on what can be found in the attic or garage, various objects could be made.
If a sports-minded child already has a blanket or comforter that he or she uses, it can be added-to to become a sporty bed cover. Supplies to make homemade kids sports bedding isn’t difficult to find in a family where a child is inspired to enjoy sports. It is likely that in a sport-nurturing family there are members who have older clothes that show sports emblems. Even buying cheap team shirts at a used clothing store would be easier to afford than buying a brand new set. Cutting the images out along the lines or around them in a circle, square or triangle prepares the patches to be sewn onto the blanket. After the images are cut out, the child can pin them to the blanket in spots that they want, which gives the bed cover a unique look.
As a project that requires the attention span of a dedicated teen, a quilt can also be made from the cut-out fronts of sports t-shirts sewn together, or by finding or creating cheer flags to sew onto backing before putting the quilt together with batting.
To accommodate pillows for kids sports bedding, well-cleaned sports jerseys and even letterman jackets can be un-sleeved and sewn shut to make a sporty pillow cover. Boys beds would be able to hide the box spring with a bed skirt made of triangular cheer flags strung together to match the homemade comforter and jersey pillow cases so that the combination becomes as handsome as the kids sports bedding sets found at any store, but with a personal touch and meaning. Sheets to accompany these homemade sets are difficult to make at home, and may be bought, but cheap, simple solid colors can be chosen to match the colors in the set.
These same concepts can be used to create kids sports bedding in any-aged room. Done on a smaller scale, a baby can have these same creations as well as a sporty shirt-emblem crib-liner and valances or curtains. This idea can be carried into bath accessories as well when a simple shower curtain has the laced canvas parts of old basketball high tops hot-glued along it. With some patience and working together, soon a memorable kids sports bedding set will be achieved and perhaps preserved through decades as a cherished heirloom.
My name is Tami Grayson, and I recently re-decorated my sons bedroom. One of the best things I did was make some of my own kids sports bedding and saved a lot of money. You can get additional information at my website, http://www.Kids-SportsBedding.com.
