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.
For each of the crib bumper pads' four pieces, sew three sides with 1/4″ seams. Leave open the end where the fabric is 1/2″ longer than the batting.
Cut 16 strips in one of the fabric colors to 1″ x 23″. These will be the ties that attach each crib bumper pads piece to the crib.
Fold down both ends of each tie 1/4″ and iron flat.
Sew the flattened ends.
Fold the sides of each tie into the center and iron flat.
Fold each tie in half length-wise and iron again.
Sew each tie with the smallest seam your sewing machine will allow.
Stitch ties onto the corners of each of the crib bumper pads' pieces.
