DIY: Flower Canopy/ Mosquito Net

I am in the process of transforming my room, therefore, I have a nice DIY for you all today, which is most likely three people! Very recently, I bought a mosquito net that I found very plain. I decided to take the audacity in making a flower ring due to no one having a tutorial on this, besides an Etsy shop selling one for $155!! I took the spin on the seller's canopies, went to the local craft store, and bought fake flower bouquets for a dollar each! Luckily, I liked the flowers that were on sale!


1. Buy a mosquito net, floral tape, scissors, and fake flowers. (I used three bouquets)

2. Cut flowers off of the bouquets. (To cut flowers off of the bouquets if you do not have a wire cutter, bend the stem back and forth, make an incision in the wire, and snap the stem.)

3. Intertwine the flowers by twisting the stems around each other as many times as you would like and covering the stems with floral tape as you go along.

This is the tape I used.








4. Repeat this process until you get your desired length. When you are done, tape the two ends together into a circle shape and voila!

 Please excuse the crookedness; I didn't take the photo at a straight angle.
