  Nate and I decided it's all about timing. Initially, our baby is going to be in a cradle next to our bed and isn't even going to use the crib for a few months, so we can use a crib bumper pads simply for decorative purposes during that time. Beyond that, we'll play it by ear – but we did make sure to make a crib bumper pads with thin batting so it's very breathable, just in case.

  Measure the length and width of your crib (mine was 52 1/2″ long and 26 1/2″ wide). Height doesn't matter because we're going to cut pieces to 11″ high. This height seems to be about average for a crib bumper pads.

  Cut batting in the exact width and length of the crib (I cut 2 pieces of batting to 52 1/2″ x 11″ and 2 pieces of batting to 26 1/2″ x 11″).

  For all four sides of the crib bumper pads, pin the batting to the corresponding fabric layers with the fabric layers on bottom. You'll notice that the batting is 1/2″ shorter than the fabric layers. This is intentional to leave a 1/2″ seam on one end, which you will slip-stitch later.

  These will be the ties that attach each crib bumper pads piece to the crib.

  Stitch ties onto the corners of each of the crib bumper pads' pieces.
