Any little girl dreams of becoming a fairy princess. Even after she grows up and turns into a beautiful young woman, the dream remains. In search of his prince, days, months or years pass by. And to keep the soul in the soul of faith in the tale becomes more difficult. This will help special atmosphere. Required attribute of any princess is a bed with a canopy. Therefore, how to make a canopy with their own hands, every crowned person should know.

Modern furniture manufacturers offer a huge range of special beds with special fasteners for the canopy. Any of these models is quite expensive and not everyone can afford to buy it. We will consider a more economical version of the bed for princesses. To do this, any bed that you have at home is suitable. We will only make a canopy for her.

The main attention should be paid to fixings. There are several options for the manufacture of cornices for canopies.

• Attach the four curly pillars to the bed and connect them to the top in the frame. Pull the string to which you attach the canopy with your own hands in the form of a curtain.
• Buy in the store a flexible curtain rod for the bathroom of the required length and attach it to the ceiling, repeating the shape of the bed. Secure it with a ready-made canopy.
• Take an ordinary plastic hoop or a piece of pipe made of metal-plastic. Screw a special chandelier hook into the ceiling. String the sewn canopy with your own hands. Bend it into the ring, connecting the ends with a small piece of a tube of a larger diameter. Hang the hoop to the ceiling with decorative cords or chains.

Considering the various options for how to make a canopy over the bed, consider the severity of the material used. This will determine the method of attachment. You can sew a canopy from any fabric. Suits tulle, crystal, chiffon, silk, mesh or any thin material. First, we calculate the necessary amount of tissue. For this we measure the height of the future canopy and all sides of the bed, which it will close.

For example, take a double bed with a standard size of 2.1 x 1.5 meters and a ceiling height of 2.8 meters in the room. Putting the bed head to the wall and wanting to cover it with a canopy on three sides, we get 5.7 meters of mandatory length of fabric, which will need to add another 1.5 - 2 meters for free fitting and a small drapery. To make a canopy, we need 7.5-8 meters of chiffon, 3 meters wide. It is not necessary to make a solid canopy. It will be much more interesting to look divided into 3-4 parts, decorated on the side sections with a ruched or decorative stitch.

The lower edge of the fabric is sewn or processed with an oblique bake. The upper edge is bent and sewed to it with a special braid for curtains. The side sections of the panels are processed by any chosen method. We decorate the canopy with threads of beads, beautiful flowers or ribbons. We hang the canopy to the anchorages and enjoy the king's bed.

Every little princess should have a proper bed from birth. Therefore, if you are waiting for replenishment in the family, then sew a canopy on the baby crib with your own hands. A special mount can be bought at every children's store. It is screwed from either side to the side of the crib.

Do not listen to those who consider a child's canopy a dust collector. He will help to close the crib with the baby from the rays of light during sleep and protect the child from flying insects in the summer. If you are very concerned about dust, then wash the canopy at least once a week. It is easy enough to remove and fasten to the place, and the machine is an automaton in every house.

When sewing a child's canopy, try not to use small parts that can come off (beads, buttons). Decorate it with multicolored ribbons, appliques, ruches and using contrasting colors. Remember that for a quiet sleep of a toddler, the cot finish must be made only from the fabric of gentle tones.
