DIY Canopy Bed

Wedding reuse project #2! (First one was the floating book shelves - check out the tutorial here!) With all this extra chiffon fabric laying around, we had to find a use for it. I had always wanted a canopy bed - plus we had an in-home shoot coming up - so our next project was born!

Materials:

• 50 ft chiffon fabric
• Wall hooks (Daiso)
• Greenery garland ($19 at Michaels)
• Clamps (optional)

Instructions:

1. Fold the fabric in half and find the center of your fabric. Keep a placemarker there (we clamped down the center).
2. Measure out where you want your canopy to drape. Screw the wall hooks into the wall - two on the back wall, one on each of the side walls. Because we have a cement back wall, we actually used sticky hooks from Daiso.
3. Place the greenery garland on the back wall hooks.
4. Center the fabric onto the hooks, and drape away! We draped it first across the center, then each end to the side wall. Then we brought each side back to the back wall, and then back out to the side wall so that it was double draped. Because our hooks weren't that large, we looped the second piece of fabric through the ring of the greenery garland rather than have it sit on the hook. The clamps also helped us keep the fabric in place while we decided how we wanted to drape it.
