I knew I wanted a canopy above my bed but the store bought ones looked cheap. So I can up with the idea to use a beautiful expensive looking table cloth that sparkles! The secret part is, it was very inexpensive!
High end style without the price tag!
Grab your supplies! You'll also need a ladder. . I did not have to move my bed! Just place the ladder on each side of the bed. Also, I found the subtle sparkle table cloths at HomeGoods and the 2 curtain rods at Marshalls. Chandelier Swag hooks can be found in any hardware section or store.
When hot gluing, make sure they completely dry and wait until the glue strips are sturdy so you can hang them. If you are impatient, they won't be durable enough to hold the weight on the curtain rod.
You will have to play with this until you achieve the desired swag. Pull as low as you would like. You also need to make sure the swag is even all across or it won't look as good!

I love this idea, thank you. Going to recreate it in our guest bedroom over a vintage sleigh bed that is definitely missing something, this! Thank you.

This is a great idea!! I just moved into a new place in 09/2023 and due to deciding to begin fresh I got rid of all of the old & am beginning w/all new which has put me into quite a bit of debt. Now, because of that I can't really afford to decorate using all ready made store bought items & I am always looking 4 new DIY ways of decorating. This is fantastic!! Thank you so much for this brilliant idea!!!

Beautiful!! How big/long was your tablecloth?
Can you please tell me what size table cloth would I need for a queen size bed in order for it to drape properly? I don't have a headboard so I would be using the back of the cloth to go behind the head of the bed.
The hot glue is an unforced error, I'm sorry. That will mean when you take these down to launder them??---you'll HAVE to line dry them. Hot Glue MELTS in a dryer. Ya don't wanna know how I had to learn that lesson. 🙄 😬. It'll take MAYBE 15-20 mins each panel to sew on those ribbon strips; even faster with a sewing machine if you have one. I suppose if you were in a big decorating hurry, you could hot glue??-- but that will doom you to hanging big curtains out to dry every time you wash them. 😕 Hope this helps, don't wanna see anybody wreck their dryer~
