This weekend I tackled a D.I.Y. for my daughter’s room, and it was SO easy, I had to share!
I searched for the idea initially on Pinterest, but then I couldn’t find any curtain panels that went with her room decor. So I decided to make my own, using a pair of $10 sheers from IKEA, some pom-pom trim from the local fabric store and a hot glue gun, for a project that cost under $40 total…
I can’t get her out of it, so I call that a success!
(Excuse the blank walls — I took all the art down, and now that’s become a project for another day!)
Hope you had a productive weekend too!
And check out my instagram for more ideas…

Erika! This is the BEST DIY I have seen in a while. I am sure she is just over the moon to have something so whimsical and private. Love it. Need it. xo

Jen @ RamblingRenovators says
Ahhh, love it! Its so sweet and the pom pom trim is the icing on the cake.
My 3.5 year old has the same focus when she’s on the iPad too ;)

Go you! This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. I might use this some day. I saw some that you can buy in Land of Nod or Pottery Barn Kids catalogs.
I want one for myself to hide in.

The canopy is just darling Erika! I bet that is something she will always remember fondly when talking about her childhood room.

Each new age brought the criminal element forward with it. Advertisers all over the place, advertising everything underneath the sun. Make certain that the payment gateway you are making use of, permits similar languages as the remaining of the web pages
so that they can match well together.
Doreen Nyback says
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! I am making it for my daughter for Christmas :) Love it!
Ann says
Since you are using two panels, what other spaces on the sides are open for ribbon to slip through besides the back?
