Comforter clips can be found at Bed, Bath, and Beyond. Finally, you can turn the duvet cover inside out and sew a strip of ribbon (around 10 inches should do it) to each of the corners. Then sew four more strips of ribbon to the corners of your comforter and tie the ribbons on the comforter to the ribbon on the cover together. Then you just turn the duvet cover back the right way and put it on your bed!
