Adding Ribbon Streamers to a Round Frame Canopy Netting

• 1). Measure around the interior of the round canopy ring. Divide the measurement by 16 to determine the spacing between ribbons.
  
  
• 2). Cut 16 pieces of 72-inch-long ribbon. Use one color of ribbon or several colors that coordinate with the bedding. Contrast the ribbon with the netting color for higher visibility. For example, use pink ribbon with white netting.
  
  
• 3). Fold the ribbons in half so there are 36 inches of ribbon on each side of the fold. Put on gloves to avoid being burned by the glue gun. According to the One Project Closer website, the end of a glue gun can reach 380 degrees Fahrenheit. Touching the end or the glue can burn your fingers.
  
  
• 4). Stand on the bed to reach the canopy ring. Canopy netting is sewn, glued or attached to rings by a rod pocket.
  
  
• 5). Apply a dot of glue to the middle of the ribbon fold and hold the ribbon together.
  
  
• 6). Glue the ribbon fold to the front center of the ring on top of the netting by pressing a dot of glue behind the fold in the ribbon and pressing the back of the ribbon firmly to the netting.
  
  
• 7). Grasp another ribbon. Move to the right of the first adhered ribbon according to the spacing distance determined.
  
  
• 8). Glue the fold of the ribbon to the netting with the ribbon streaming over the netting. Continue moving to the right, spacing the ribbon according to the spacing distance predetermined until 16 ribbons are glued to the netting around the ring.
  
  

Adding Ribbon Streamers, Bows or Roses to Netting

• 1). Determine if you'll adhere the ribbon embellishments to the netting in a measured or random pattern. Ribbon embellishments include ribbons cut in lengths and folded as streamers, bows, or roses. Ribbon embellishments are available at craft and fabric stores.
  
  
• 2). Measure from the top of the frame to the netting hem. Divide this measurement by two to determine the halfway measurement of the canopy. Put on gloves to protect your skin from burns.
  
  
• 3). Apply a dot of glue to the back of a bow, ribbon or rose. Press it firmly to the top of the netting. Slip cardboard behind the netting where you're working to provide a foundation to press the embellishment against.
  
  
• 4). Work from the top of the netting down toward the floor, gluing a heavier concentration of embellishments around the frame and using less as you reach the halfway measurement of the canopy.
  
  
• 5). Glue the embellishments an equal distance from each other around or along the frame. For example, glue a bow spaced every 2 inches around the frame or work in a diagonal pattern, evenly spacing the ribbon embellishments 8 inches apart. Alternately, you can randomly glue the embellishments to the netting.
