Total Time Needed: 30 Minutes or less
When Molly P., age 8, from Huntington, New York, asked for a canopy bed, her mom, Helen, came up with this clever substitute. Once they had purchased the streamers, the project took about 15 minutes and cost only $8. Says Molly: "I like being behind the curtain because it makes me feel cozy in there."
Materials
- 6 rolls of colorful streamers (available at party stores)
- Tape
- Scissors
Instructions
- Test your ceiling to make sure that your tape (Helen and Molly used Scotch tape) will stick and hold the streamers. If the tape doesn't hold, Helen suggests using pushpins.
- Stand on the bed and tape the streamers to the ceiling. Have your child cut them at the bottom near the floor.
Tips:
Pull the curtain back each morning and tie it to the side with a little piece of streamer.
