If they match your nursery, that may be an option for you. You could always take them to a consignment shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-old-crib-bumpers#post-192000 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 19:16:01 +0000 Downward Dog 192000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm, these are really good ideas. Maybe I could use them as bumpers for our coffee table. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-old-crib-bumpers#post-191865 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 17:54:28 +0000 stargal 191865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>what about curtain valances? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-old-crib-bumpers#post-191785 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 16:06:47 +0000 pastemoo 191785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You can give them away, still. Some people (like me) decide to use them anyway. We got a motion sensor monitor just in case... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-old-crib-bumpers#post-191748 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:35:37 +0000 Mrs. Pen 191748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I saw someone who took crib bumpers and turned them into teething guard rail! It was cool, but if he's not in the crib I suppose that's not a necessity. </p> <p>Are you good with DIY projects? You could salvage most of the fabric and make fabric blocks, use in a patchwork blanket, taggie, stuffed animals, pennant banner for his room - there is a lot of scrap-buster projects. Look on pinterest :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-to-do-with-old-crib-bumpers#post-191742 Fri, 15 Jun 2012 15:31:04 +0000 Downward Dog 191742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got some pass along crib bumpers that I need used and don't plan on using. I know they are not recommended, plus my son doesn't sleep in his crib anyway. I'm not sure if I should give them away because of the AAP recommendation. Should I just throw them away? I feel bad tossing perfectly nice bedding. </p>
