Any tips on how to make a hanging canopy for a little princess's bed?

Answers:
I make adorable little princess canopies with half rounds found at the home improvement center. They sell round table top wooden circles that you have or cut in half yourself. They come in many sizes, so pick one that fits the size of bed she has. Purchase 2-4 elbow brackets depending on the size of the round. You can get decorative ones or plain ones that you can paint. Cover the round with fabric using spray adhesive. Staple fabric to the sides meeting almost in the middle. Drape the fabric to the sides of the bed using drapery hold backs. Use a bedskirt or shorter fabric stapled to the top of the round as a valance and to hide the staples from the side draperies. Use the angle brackets to attach the round to the wall from the underneath. The whole project takes about 10 yards of fabric, but if you check the clearance sections (like at JoAnnes) you can find 99 cent-$1 a yard fabric.
