Design Your Own Custom Baby Bedding with our Custom Design Studio (instructions below)
Carousel Designs offers hundreds of fabrics in a variety of styles and textures in our extensive selection of baby bedding. Now you can choose from this vast inventory of fabric to produce your own custom baby bedding creation. And because we are the manufacturer, we assemble and deliver your custom baby bedding creation in days, not weeks.
To get started, take a look at the designer to familiarize yourself with some of the fundamental elements that you will use to create the perfect custom crib bedding for your baby's nursery:
Fabric Tab
Finding Fabrics with the Category List
With over 250 fabrics to choose from, finding the fabrics you want can be tricky. To help you with this we have provided a fabric filter drop down box. In that drop down box you will see a list of filters that will let you view fabrics by color, material, or pattern. Are you looking for stripes? Do you want to see our red fabrics? Is your heart set on a minky material? Selecting the appropriate category in the drop down will help you quickly find what you want.
Showing Matching Fabrics
Sometimes the difference between white and off-white can be difficult to see on a computer screen. To help ensure that the subtle differences in fabric colors are accounted for, we have a checkbox to show only matching fabrics. When this option is checked, the designer will only show you fabrics whose colors match each of the colors in the fabrics you have already chosen for your custom crib design.
Sometimes, however, you may want to try out some fabrics without worrying about the color scheme. Whether you are coordinating a nursery for your favorite sports team or simply want to expand your creative options, all you need to do to view fabrics regardless of how well they match your design is uncheck the option to show only matching fabrics. If you should choose one or more fabrics which we suspect might not match due to subtle differences in color not easily detected on your computer screen, we will offer you a warning that is visible in the design area.
The "My Fabrics" Area
Once you have selected a fabric for use in your design, it is very likely that you will want to use it in other products for your custom crib set. To help save you the time of searching for the fabric you have already used, we offer you the "My Fabrics" area. Here you will see a fabric tile for each of the fabrics currently being used in your design.
There is another, even easier, way to use fabrics you have already included in your design. With your mouse hovering over a configured part, you click to select the fabric on that part just as if you had clicked on a fabric tile in the fabric selection area. Then with the mouse button held you can drag the fabric to a different part and drop to apply it to a new part as well.
The Design Area
Drag and Drop Fabrics
Choosing fabrics is easy with our Drag and Drop interface. Simply click on a fabric tile to the right and, holding the mouse button down, drag it onto the image on the left. As you drag the fabric over the image, you will see each part highlight. Once the part you are trying to configure is highlighted, simply release the mouse button to drop the fabric and configure the part!
To remove a fabric from a product, you have several options. First, if it is the most recent fabric you applied you can simply click the "Undo" button in the image area.
Second, you can click on the part in the image. You will then see an information panel describing the part and the fabric, including a "Remove" link. Clicking that link will remove the fabric and leave you with an unconfigured part.
Third, you may click the "Start Over" button in the image area. This will remove all fabrics from all parts in the design, giving you a clean slate to begin again.
Item Selector
Adding to Your Cart
The item selector allows you to choose which products you wish to buy. For example, if you don't want to purchase a comforter as part of your custom design, simply un-check the "Comforter" checkbox. Your custom design set price will update automatically. When you're done making your selections, click the "Add to Cart" button to checkout.
Sometimes you may receive a checkout warning informing you that one or more parts has not been configured yet. This means the design is incomplete and fabrics have not been assigned to all parts. To quickly show which parts are missing fabric, click the "Show" link in the upper left corner of the Design Area. Markers will appear to point out the missing fabrics:
Green: This part has been configured.
White: This part has not been configured and still needs a fabric.
Gray: This part has not been configured but is not part of your custom design.
Adding to Your Registry
Instead of adding products to your cart, you can add them to your gift registry by clicking the "Add to My Registry" link above the "Add to Cart" button. If you don't have a gift registry with us yet, you will be guided through creating one and your custom design set will be added then.
