Make a Bed CanopyCanopy Bed

Things you will need to complete the job: 

- Dowel rods      

- Curtains    

- Ceiling hooks     

- Corner Brackets   

- Zip ties

 

Corner Brackets for hanging curtain rods around cornersSlide curtains onto all 4 rods, then attach corner bracketsUse zip tie to hand on flower hooks already inserting in the ceilingCanopy frame zip tied to flower hooks looks seamless.

Corner Brackets used for hanging curtain rods around corners.

Slide 2 curtains onto each of the 4 dowl rods before screwing on corner brackets.

Use a zip tie to attach the corner of the frame to the flower hook in the ceiling.  Pull the zip tie tight so you can't see it.

The frame will appear suspended in air after all 4 sides are zip tied.  Then adjust you curtains how ever you would like.  Bonus! The frame can go around a ceiling fan!!

    

1.  Cut your dowel rods to the length and width of the Mattress (bed) you will be making the canopy for.

2.  Hang two curtains on each rod. 

3.  Screw the corner brackets into the end of each rod making a frame.

4. Measure and mark the four corners on the ceiling above the bed. Install ceiling hooks (Use Swag hooks with Toogle bolts. You can get these at any home improvement store) in each of the four corners. If your ceiling is white, it is best to use white hooks as well.

5. Wrap a Zip tie around each of the corner brackets and hang on the ceiling hooks.

6. Adjust your curtains as you prefer them and enjoy!!!
