Midsummer Canopy |
|
When planning
a backyard fête, a quick trip to the hardware store can ensure
that you've got everything covered, especially your table. For that
enchanting evening look, a midsummer canopy is the way to go.
Supplies:
- 10' by
10' piece of canvas
- 4 long
cedar posts
- 4 buckets
- cement
- twine
- pegs
- crystal
chandelier fobs
- fishing
line
- white
sand
- starfish
- shells
- faux pearls
Method:
Stick a cedar post into each bucket and fill it with cement.
Attach canvas to tops of posts using twine.
Stretch long pieces of twine from each post down to pegs in the
ground to secure it well.
Attach fishing line to chandelier fobs and hang them from the
canvas.
Top off each bucket with white sand, shells, starfish and some
faux pearls.
With its combination
of sparkling crystals and sea motif, your canopy will create a
look your guests won't soon forget. Even better, your canopy is
portable, so when the party's over tuck it away in the garage
and then pull it out every time you entertain in the backyard.
