Hadley's canopy is done!

Hadley's princess canopy is done! I have worked super hard this weekend and couldn't be happier with the end product!

I don't have step by step instructions, but what I did was really simple.  I went to Hobby Lobby and found this (pic below).  It's in the spring section.  I think it's supposed to be a window box?  To me, it looked like a crown and that's EXACTLY what I was looking for. 

I had originally planned on spray painting it solid white but once I got it in her room, I liked it so I left it alone.  I traced a piece of cardboard to fit the bottom of it.  I used the cardboard her dresser came in, so that was free!

After I traced the cardboard, I cut it out.  It fit perfect UNDER the bottom of the planter.  I bought the pink silk fabric from JoAnn.  It was on sale for $3.99 per yard and I had a coupon for $5 off the purchase of $25 or more.  After tax, I ended up spending $21 on 7 yards of the fabric.  I wasn't exactly sure how much I needed.  I still have over a yard left.

I recently bought a serger.  This was my first project with it! I serged all the raw edges of the fabric.  Then I stapled the fabric to the cardboard.  I used twist ties to hold the cardboard to the underside of the planter.  That's it!  Then I hung it and now her canopy is complete!!!

Total project was around $35!
