diy: bed canopy.

I've always wanted a canopy for the bed, but thought they were for little girls, or just too girly for Daniel. But today I got in one of my  "I have to clean now!" phases normally from watching Hoarders, which translates to 90% of the time that I have to rearrange the furniture.

I mean thats the only way to get everything 100% clean! Am I right?? DUH!

So 5 min later, my room looking like a tornado stopped by for a cup of tea, I got it in my head that the only way my bed would look cute in the corner is with a canopy.

There was no way I was leaving to house it was dark and I'm lazy, so I took down my black curtains from my last cleaning project, and I was off!

What you need:
You want to pull the ends of the hanger out of the cardbord.
And start untwisting and bending. the pliers are a huge help! until the hanger now represents a circle!
Add the fabric of your choosing, and pinch in the hooks, so your loop wont spring open. I then tied some yarn and found a hook screw to hang it up!

I just love it!

Kinda looks like "The Woman in Black"...or Cousin It. 

...I'd take the latter please.
