Girls' Canopies

The girls wanted some canopies in their rooms, but the ones they wanted were $85 each plus shipping.  They're pretty cute, but for a tulle drapery, I cannot imagine spending $200 for 2 of these:

They are big enough to play around in, but the girls didn't really need this much, just a cute matching drapes for over their beds.

I then realized I had a ton of leftover tulle in green and blue from making seasonal tutus a few years ago... I had one room done in fairies so the image to the left would work in greens and flowers... and the other daughters room was done in penguins and blues, perfect for the blue tulle.

With a little supplies I already had (wires from scrapbooking, ribbon) and purchasing 2 gold metal hoops, snowflakes, and flowers all from Ben Franklin, I managed to make 2 canopies for well under $20 total!
