I began with a 14" embroider hoop. These are quite inexpensive at the craft store or can usually be found for next to nothing at Goodwill if you are feeling particularly thrifty.
These things are HUGE. I bought two sets because I wanted the canopy to be extra full. However, one set would work as well.

Next, I made an X on the inner hoop with elastic bands. Alternatively, twine or ribbon could be used.

I took the embroider hoop apart and slide the curtains onto the outer hoop.

I made sure that the curtains were spread evenly over the outer hoop, and then put the embroider hoop back together.
Voilà!
That is all it takes to make a crib canopy. J

I was very pleased with the finished product. More importantly, Miss Cupcake was overjoyed when I showed her the new canopy, and she seems
quite cozy sleeping underneath it.
SWEET DREAMS!

What did you use to attach the canopy to the ceiling?
ReplyDeleteI used a hook screw.
DeleteWow! Super easy, I feel like even my crafting impaired self could do it.
ReplyDeleteAnother way to wash the canopy is with the 303 Fabric Cleaner Concentrate. This cleaner can remove mildew, dirt, and other stains. pop up shelter
