# How to Make a Mattress Protector From a Shower Curtain
Do you have a small child spending the night at your house, but lack the necessary mattress protection in case of a bed-wetting accident? It's simple to cover a mattress with a new or gently used plastic shower curtain or liner reserved for that purpose. As long as the curtain is free of holes, it should easily cover a twin mattress and shield it from any spills or urine.
Things You'll Need
- Plastic shower curtain or liner
- Duct tape

1
Spread the shower curtain or shower curtain liner out on the floor. If the curtain is used, make sure it is dry and free of mildew, soap scum and other stains, as these things can damage the mattress.
-
2
Remove the fitted sheet from the mattress and stand it on its side. Flip the mattress onto the shower curtain, top-side down. Center it on the material, leaving as much excess plastic as possible on all sides.
-
3
Fold the sides of the shower curtain up over the mattress, securing it with duct tape. Pull the plastic taut so that there are no wrinkles in the material.

4
Place the mattress back on the box spring. Put the fitted sheet back over the mattress and remake the bed.
