Easy Designer Bed Canopy

Here's a great way to change your room up without the cost and it will like a designer did it!
Materials You'll Need:
3 galvanized plumbing nipples - 1/2" diameter x 24" long
three 1/2" threaded flanges
three 1/2" end caps
screws or toggle bolts
picture hanging wire
screw eyes
drill
metallic fabric
needle and thread to match fabric
7 Easy Steps:
1. Measure the wall to determine canopy placement. The middle pipe should be at the bed's center and approximately 80" from the floor. The two outer pipes should be 10" below the upper pipe and approximately 2" to 3" beyond the outside edge of the bed. Mark these three locations.
2. Secure a flange at each of the three locations you just marked. Use wall anchors or toggle bolts to ensure a tight bond if there isn't a stud.
3. Screw the three galvanized nipples (pipes) into the flanges. Using a level or plumb line, find the location on the ceiling that corresponds with the end of the pipe. This is where the screw eyes will be located so that the ends of the pipes will be supported.
4. Mark the locations on the ceiling and attach a screw eye in each. Again, use a toggle bolt to ensure good connection if a ceiling joist isn't hit.
5. Loop the wire rope around the conduit and up to the screw eye. Use a wire rope clamp or simply tie-off the wire.
6. Determine the length of fabric needed to drape over the three conduits, adding about 5" for a puddling effect at both ends.
7. Finally, drape the fabric over the pipes. Secure with needle and thread to keep the fabric from slipping. [More Info]
