Hi have just brought youngest daughter a mid sleeper bed and would like to make a fabric tent/curtains to go underneaath to make her a little den. Anyone got any ideas how to do this?
Thanks

Two eyelet screws - a length of net curtain wire (it's rubber covered with two hooks one each end) and some material. Tis quite easy once you've measured it.

Yes.
Measure what size pannel of fabric you need. Add a bit for seams.

Fold ove the top of the panel and sew to make a channel. Thread curtain wire through the channel and attatch the bed using net curtain fxings as Who moved says.

Repeat for the other sides of the bed

Thanks for the replies I hadn't thought of using net curtain wire. Quite simple when you think about it. Just got to find some nice fabric now,
