Has anyone made a homemade version of the Flutterby or Rose Garden Hideaways from HearthSong?
I would love to have one of these for my playroom, but the cost is a bit much.
It looks easy enough, but I am the type who needs actual instructions, not just to look at a picture and know what to buy and how to put it together. I wouldn't know how much fabric to buy, or what to make the ring out of.
Has anyone ever made one of these?

Thanks!!

In Christ,

Leocea

I thought I'd add the links so everyone could see what you are asking about, Leocea.

Rose Garden Hideaway
Flutterby Hideaway

I have long wanted one of these also, but been unwilling to spend the money. I have said to myself, I could make this, but I never have.

I would start with a large craft ring like this and massive yards of some sheer material like crepe, chiffon, tulle or gauze. You would need about 2-3 yards per section. Depending on how gathered you wanted it you would need 3-5 sections, I'm guessing.
