DUST RUFFLE:
I glued a piece of cardboard to the bedframe so I'd have something to attach my dust ruffle to. (see Pic B below)
I did each side of the bed for the dust ruffle separately.
So say that your bed frame starts 1 1/2" off of the floor and the side of the bed is 7" long. You'll want to cut your material so you have extra. I would cut a piece of material for your bed ruffle 3 1/2" high by 12" long.
I folded over the bottom of the dust ruffle for a hem, just fold over about 3 mm. pressing it with your hands and glue.
Attach lace (optional) to the backside of the material on the hem using glue. You only want about 4mm of the lace showing on the bottom. (see Pic C below)
Now start gluing the top of your dust ruffle onto the cardboard on the bedframe, making sure to ruffle it as you go along. Make sure the dust ruffle touches the floor, you don't want to glue it to the bedframe so it hangs too high off of the floor. (see Pic A below how it overlaps onto the cardboard and the ruffles)
Repeat this process for both sides and the footboard of the bed. The footboard will be a little tricky as you'll have to stuff the material in between the footboard and the bedframe. You can leave the headboard side without a ruffle as it will be propped against a wall anyway.
