How To: Easy Bed Canopy

2009-07-canopy.jpg

Whether you're looking to add a little dramatic flair to a bed or create a little reading hideaway for your kids, Aimee has a great idea for making an easy canopy. Can you guess what inexpensive child's toy she cleverly repurposed for this project?

 
 

That's right, a hula hoop. You can get one for a few bucks at most toy stores or perhaps you have one gathering dust in your garage or attic. You can read Aimee's instructions at her blog HomeSpun Threads. What we really like is her idea to make this a special spot for her kids - a safari hat and books and she's got herself a staycation spot!
