You! With the knowledge on things! (erm crafty question)

@ScribbledAdNauseum Lol, being crafty is fun too! But for some things I just buy them out of the package since it'll be cheaper than making it myself, hehe I think they're cute but my boyfriend says they're too girly for his liking (doH) haha

@infatuatedbby well yeah, of course they are girly! But you could always get a dark maroon or a black curtain instead! haha. I saw one that this girl on youtube made. She used a hoopla and put pretty lights on hers! Even hung a dream catcher!

aw, but then what's the fun in that? haha, thanks. I might just get one of these instead? Not quite sure yet. Not a bad price.

Yes it's pretty and much more inexpensive to make :)

Yes, I did not think they'd be so inexpensive. I might have to just forgo my original plan and buy one. I just don't know that I like the white.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I think to remember that they had other colors when I bought mine.

@ScribbledAdNauseum I personally wouldn't like a canopy as it would make me feel blocked in. LOL.

@ElusiveButterfly Well, as you know I work the night shift. During the summer months the trees block the majority of the sun that will shine in. My blinds are white though, and so it doesn't block all of it. During the winter months I don't have to worry as much because the sun isn't as bright but... The idea of a canopy intrigues me because it gives me just that little extra bit of resistance from the sun. Of course I wear a sleep mask but perhaps the canopy will make that un-necessary. My only other qualm might be how I will get air circulating within as I do need my fan but I'll worry about that later. Oh but you made me think of something I hadn't seen since I was a child. My cousin had one of those tens that go over your bed. It blocked any light from coming in and could be a bit suffocating but I remember long hours of playing in his room and on his bed because of it's "tent' like quality.

I've been looking at everyone's suggestions. I've even some ready made. Not very expensive and they are pretty but I do wonder if it would "suit" me. I imagine quite a lot of my queen size bed covered. I'd want it to serve as a sun blocking mechanism as well.

I was going to look for the tutorial again, but using a hula hoop would require cutting the hula hoop so that I could string the curtains on it. I will have to look up all of these things. I didn't even think about curved rods. I can find those at places like home depot surely?

@ScribbledAdNauseum I imagine cutting the hoop and trying to fit it back together again would be difficult. Probably best to just sew the material around the hoop.. but then you have to get fabric and not actual curtains.

@katsmeow1213 As well as beg my aunt to make it for me as I can't sew! haha. Yes it would require strong glue and perhaps a lot of clear adhesive tape.

@ScribbledAdNauseum ~Use the legs at the corners of the bedframe.

wow all that information, and good too... but I can't use that at all. That's a good idea though, but my doesn't have posts.

I am greatly appreciative of that. Lord knows I don't need any help getting confused as is! haha!

@ScribbledAdNauseum

Yes, I'm of two minds about it right now! Do I want to get one ready made or make one myself? I think I like GG (gardengerty) suggestions the most though.

Probably just as much as I do on this subject! No, mosquito net seems to be just the thing. I've done some searches and even the ready made canopies use mosquito netting, even for indoor use!
