Materials:

12 inch metal craft ring/hoop
2 curtain panels 84" length in coordinating pattern for your room. (sheer or panels decorated on both sides work best)
Heavy duty pliers/snips
gloves to protect hands when snipping ring
2 ceiling hooks with anchor (used for hanging plants)
phillips screwdriver and hammer for hooks
Steps:

First steam or iron wrinkles out of panels and set aside.
Hold ring up to the spot above the center of the bed on ceiling and mark each outer side to know where to install hanging hooks.
Install ceiling hooks as per instructions on package. The ones that you can tap in with a hammer and then screw hook in are the easiest.
With gloved hands, use plier/snips to clip the ring at the point where the circle is joined.
Feed your curtain panels with good side facing out of the circle onto your ring.
Attach to the ceiling hooks.
Drape behind the headboard and either attach each end to a decorative bracket or drape over corners of headboard. You can use double stick tape in a discreet spot on the back of the headboard also.
We added an old cameo silver medallion earring to the top center for added decoration.
Enjoy!
Variations: You can customize this project by adding beading, different color borders or an oval or round framed art object on the wall in the center.
