Abstract
A system for decorating the border of a bed having a box spring, the system being used with the box spring. The system includes an anchor with a substantially flat body with an upper surface and an underside surface, the underside surface having an adhesive material. At least two prongs protrude from the underside surface of the body, so that the anchor may be used to secure sections of fabric to the box spring. A section of decorative fabric that includes a substantially flat section and a ruffled section, is also used with the system, so that the prongs on the anchor may be inserted through the substantially flat section of the decorative fabric and into the box spring, and so that the adhesive material on the underside surface of the substantially flat body may adhere to the flat section of the decorative fabric.
