cheap ways to add a canopy to a bed?

Question

i can probably find a way to add the curtain and stuff..but i dont know how to add the frame

Answer 1

There are several ways to do this. You can suspend the curtain from the ceiling without having a frame by using fishing wire. You can take a pre-cut table round, cut it in half and attach it to the wall with L supports, staple the fabric to the sides and a valance across the top. This gives you a crown canopy. You can attach 4 x 4 posts with screws to the hollywood bedframe at the corners. Then use 2 x 2 boards from each corner meeting in the middle with a finial or screw attaching them together. You can hang 3 decorative curtain rods from the ceiling one near the head, one in the middle and one at the end. Thread the material through the rods swagging the fabric between them.

Answer 2

An easy frame is to suspend one or two decorative curtain rods from the ceiling and then drape your fabric. Very inexpensive.
