I have a canopy kit and it came with the nails and everything else. However, I am not sure how the landlord would feel about the holes in the ceiling so I was wondering if any one had any alternatives that I could use in place of the nails. Also, if anyone has any other creative yet simple ideas for how to make your own home made canopy, please share. THANKS!

Nail holes are very easy to cover or repair afterwards. But I wouldn't use nails, chances are it would be very weak to hold anything unto the ceiling. Use hook-screws instead (these are the hooks with screw in them). Once you vacate the place, buy caulk or spackling paste from Home Depot or Ace Hardware store and cover the holes as if nothing happened.
If you used glue, it is harder to clean up.

You will need a large hula-hoop... but you will have to nail it to the wall.... not the ceiling... then run some netting or toole through the hoop and drape over the top of the bed.... it is very pretty!

I put one in any way. There's no avoiding the hole. Just make sure to patch the hole up when you are vacating the apt. That's what I did to avoid trouble.

you can try using velcro. i dont like putting holes in the wall either so i hang picture frames and mirrors with industrial strength velcro. i get it at wall mart in the arts and craft section. i actually got the idea from watching trading spaces.

Use a Staple Gun, it leaves very little holes, that's what I used.
