It is required to you
- Previously chosen fabric (organza, gardinny or velvet fabric remarkably will approach); various jewelry for a canopy if they are required (for the girl it is possible to take ruches or lace); the framework which can or be ordered in a workshop or to make with own hands; sewing accessories to fabric processing.
Instruction
1. When we hear the word "canopy", in our brains images of east beauties vozlegayushchy on smart beds and covered from public eyes with smart canopies from very expensive fabrics steadily begin to be drawn. To make such miracle, having introduced in the atmosphere of the favourite bedroom or room of the daughter a little of east magic it is not as difficult as it seems at first sight. Let's remember a manual training at school.
2. The first that it is necessary for us - it is to choose fabric for a canopy. Fabric have to be or dense and heavy, or very easy, almost air. Such materials as a tapestry, a velvet, organza will be ideal for the adult bedroom. It is better to change the children's bedroom by means of natural fibers. Print or silk fabrics will be very appropriate here. For a canopy will be rather 1.5-meter width of fabric. In length material has to close a bed bottom. The canopies closing three quarters of all height of a children's bed enjoy usually wide popularity. Some do a canopy to the floor. On sale or on the Internet it is possible to see also short canopies, but they have only decorative character, and there is no functional advantage in them any. Hem fabric on all area that edges were not disheveled, we process it and we decorate if there are desire and an opportunity. We sew special fastenings on almost ready canopy that to these fastenings it was possible to hook rings thanks to which our canopy will move and be moved apart.
3. You can use for decoration of a canopy of lace or a fringe. It is possible to sew appliques or tapes. And it is possible just to sheathe a canopy bottom a tape or a flounce of small width. Ready accessories in the form of flowers, stars or butterflies will become a find for those who only began "to be on friendly terms" with a needle and a thread. They can be bought practically in any sewing shop, and they will look fantastically. You can decorate a canopy with color garlands, but it is suitable for already big children more. Kids can be overexcited from excess light and it is bad to fill up. But from such canopy in the room there will always be a feeling that the child was included in the fairy tale. If you buy fabric with the put drawing, then, most likely, additional manipulations in registration will not be necessary. Such canopy in itself will look elegantly and expensively.
4. The framework is the most difficult. The order in a workshop which is engaged in forging it is ideal option. But it is possible to make this design too. The framework for a canopy is carried out by such principle as a framework for a curtain in the bathroom. But in our case it is necessary to bend a metal bar a semicircle or in the form of letter "P", to string on it rings, then to attach it to a wall or to vertical support.
5. But it will be easier to make a canopy of a tree. The thick bar, and on its edges – laths which are perpendicular to a wall is attached to a wall. For wooden frameworks it is better to use light fabric.
6. There are several options of fastening of a canopy over a bed of the baby. You can cover completely a crib, having protected the child from mosquitoes, dust and others eyes. It is possible to close a bed only at the head of the kid. And it is possible to make a royal canopy which fastening will be located on perimeter of all bed. Everything depends on your desire and opportunities.
7. To receive the first option, a framework fix or at a bed headboard, or in its central part, or a framework fix to a ceiling or a chandelier. If you were interested in fastening to a ceiling, then it will be necessary to buy a special hook, and the framework has to have the round or oval shape. The hook has to be well twisted in a ceiling. Otherwise all design can fall and injure the baby. Instead of fixture, you can use the small size a gymnastic hoop.
8. To close a canopy only a headboard, the framework needs to be fixed directly over the head of the kid. The framework will have to be rather high differently a design to look not esthetically. Such canopy is more often used for children is more senior. It allows the child to sleep comfortably alone with the dreams and at the same time will not limit it in space during wakefulness.
9. If you want to make a canopy over a bed on royal type, then it will be necessary to fix a frame directly to a ceiling. For children is more senior it is possible to buy a bed with already built-in support. Unfortunately, they cost quite much. Many consider these beds "semi-antique" stylization. To fit a framework of a canopy to such beds will not make problems. Also ceiling designs where fabric fastens on laths and strings meet. And finishing is made by gypsum cardboard or a tree.
10. Creation of a canopy for a bed the hands is remarkable also the fact that it is not necessary to follow strictly norms, and can include imagination. You can make a figured framework which not only will protect the kid from external influence for the kid, but also to create for it the fantastic country in which he can dream. It is possible to make a framework in the form of a cloud, and it is possible to make a framework an arch and to choose multi-colored material which as a result will become a rainbow over the child's bed.
11. The main thing what it is necessary to remember at a construction of a canopy is safety measures. It is necessary to aspire to that fastening of a framework of your canopy was powerful and strong. Then the interior of the bedroom will be beautiful, and the dream will be quiet and pleasant. And what form it will be, depends only on your taste and wishes.
