I posted the tutorial for how I made the tulle bedskirt for Leah’s bed a little while back, and now I’ve made a miniature tulle bedskirt for her IKEA Duktig doll’s bed. Except, for my first tulle bedskirt for an IKEA doll’s bed, I wasn’t 100% happy. I’m also working on a second tulle bedskirt for the Duktig doll’s bed, which I’ll be posting about soon. For this tutu bedskirt, I used the leftover tulle scraps from the bedskirt I made for Leah’s twin bed, which is shown in the photo above....
