How to Make a Bed Canopy


Supplies:

  • 1 large embroidery hoop (I found mine at the thrift store for $1).

  • sheer curtains, or any fabric or tulle that strikes your fancy (mine were from the As-is section at Ikea for just .99 cents).

  • 1 ceiling screw hook (I got it at my local hardware store for less then a $1, as well).

  • coordinating ribbon.


Step 1: Take your embroidery hoop (mine is painted from a previous project. You don’t need to paint yours as it will be covered by the fabric); unscrew and remove the inside circle. To the inside circle, tie ribbon at 3 equal intervals. This will be used to hang your canopy to the ceiling.

Step 2: Take your outer circle of the embroidery hoop and simply start threading your curtain through the casing designed for the curtain rod. Depending on how bunched up you want the curtains to be, you will need 2 to 4 sheers. I used 2 and it looked just right to me.

Step 3: Insert the inner circle inside the outer circle and screw the hook. Before it’s tight all the way, make sure to adjust your curtain so it is evenly dispersed around the hoop.  Tie the ribbons into one knot at the desired height, making sure the ribbons are equally long.

Step 4: Drill a hole in the ceiling; screw in  your ceiling screw hook and hang your canopy with the ribbon. That’s it!
