You’re a princess — start sleeping like one. This is 14 DIY Canopies You Need To Make
For Your Bedroom by Ashley McGetrick
1. Use a hula hoop for some dorm room privacy. Also hide from your roommate if necessary.
Instruction: -Pin perpendicular to the trim and curtain
edge. That way you'll be able to sew right over the pins, without having to remove them
as you go. Do the same thing with the other curtain panel,
this time on the RIGHT edge. (You'll want the tasseled edges to face each other when
they are hung.)
- Thread your sewing machine with your chosen color, then sew down the middle of the pinned
trim until you reach the bottom - Jump to next panel after you done with it.
- Remove all the hardware from your embroidery hoop, then put the inside hoop aside.
- Slide the curtains onto the hoop so the good sides are facing out and the tasseled
edges meet on the other side. - If you slide the tasseled edges on first,
the canopy opening will wind up on the opposite side from the hoop closure. That way, when
you hang it, you won't see all the hardware.
2. Or thread sheer fabric and string lights through two smaller hoops for instant coziness.
This sections off your bed without sacrificing your space.
3. Check out the High end style without the price tag!
Use a curtain rod and a table cloth for a cheap Marie Antoinette ~vibe~.
We wont tell anyone it’s a table cloth if you don’t.
Total cost is estimated under $50. Ladder is not included.
Supplies you need:
Instruction:
When hot gluing, make sure they completely
dry and wait until the glue strips are sturdy so you can hang them. If you are impatient,
they won't be durable enough to hold the weight on the curtain rod.
last step, have fun with this until you achieve the desired
swag. Pull as low as you desired. Also, make sure
the swag is even all across or it won't look as good!
Enjoy
4. Make your room extra cozy with two mini curtain rods and some cheap fabric.
A little bit of charm can go a long way.
5. If you don’t have any curtain rods lying around, use some copper pipe.
6. You can even hang a canopy just using thumbtacks. No need to be a handy-man or handy-lady, this
- Started with some wooden dowels from Hobby
Lobby ($.29 a piece) and some sheer fabric panels from IKEA (two for $5.00) .
- Insert the dowel through the casing. Not. too. difficult.
- Thumb tack to the ceiling. Yep, thumb tacked. Pretty easy, and I'm pretty sure you'll
like it. Update:
I wasn't fully loving the canopy until I went to IKEA and added two side panels as well,
So it's basically a big rectangle at the head of the bed with curtains coming down.
LURVE.
7. Add some string lights to create an extra whimsical effect.
Most things in life become more magical by adding string lights; canopies are certainly
no exception.
General advice for you: - Use odd bits lying around to create a boho,
eclectic feel.
Think fairy lights, different fabrics, rugs and lanterns.
- If you have any visible beams or piping, tie swathes of fabric from Lincraft or Spotlight
to them and arrange to tumble down around your bed.
- Think outside the box. Why not try curtain rods screwed to the ceiling to hang fabric
off. Or be different and try tree branches for a natural look.
- One of the simplest ones is to get a hula hoop, cover it in material like ribbon and
then sew your canopy to that. This is really easy to do and pretty simple to mount from
the ceiling.

8. For some privacy and extra shade, solid curtains are a perfect solution.
You’re a classy person, you need a classy bed.
Supplies: Adjustable rod West Elm Industrial Pipe Curtains,
panels , a drill, your favorite fabric. And a ladder to get the drill usable.
9. Use a sturdy branch to create your own shabby chic canopy.
Spice up a kid’s bedroom or your own.
10. Use a thick patterned fabric to make a canopy that doubles as a headboard.
A perfect way to add some patterns to your bedroom.
Materials you need: 1. Fabric.
2. Adjustable curtain rods. 3. Ceiling mounted.
4. Wall mounted. and
5. Ancors and screws.
To give the fabric a finished look, I adorned the edges with a black-and-gray ribbon border
using fabric glue (but fusible tape would work too).
To create the canopy effect and hold the draped fabric in place when it’s hung, I sewed
a channel for the ceiling-mounted curtain rod 18 inches from the fabric’s edge.
Hang the Rods.
Make sure to position the brackets so that they are a little wider than the width
of your canopy to accommodate the bracket hardware.
Once the brackets are in place, slide your canopy onto a curtain rod, and attach the
rod to the ceiling brackets. Next, place the other curtain rod in the wall hardware and
drape the length of the fabric behind it.
That’s it! Isn’t it amazing what you can do with a little fabric and two curtain rods?
11. Or drape a sheer pattern to add dimension to a small room.
Use white garden hooks to hang the curtain rod from the ceiling – these easily screwed
in and kept the rod secure and safe from falling.
Make sure that you place one garden hook at
each end and then one in the middle to keep it sturdy.
The final cost of this project without the flowered mirror was $71.00 – not too shabby!
12. Transform a wooden ladder and some linen fabric into a rustic canopy.
Maybe also do some morning pull-ups? Actually no. Definitely do not do that.
13. Some strategically hung tapestry can add a lot of personality.
For this project, You need: •a hammer
•fabric and •nails!
Instruction: Took Moroccan-y, colorful blanket as the backboard.
Hammer it to the top of the wall, and then extended it out over the bed so it creates
a little cave. instead of using a decorative blanket ON your
bed, why not use it BEHIND or ABOVE your bed?!
And last,
14. And a kiddy-sized canopy is just as easy. The little ones need a little luxury too.
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! Now you or your children can enjoy nice sleep
nights or naps..
