Materials:

4 yards of continuous fabric (canvas, cotton duck, twill or other heavy duty fabric is preferable- 10oz or less is best)
4 poles (dowels, square poles, pipe, PVC, etc) 1" X 1" X 72-96" based on preference
Lacing/cord/rope 24" or more to tie poles together, more if using cord for door tie-backs; leather or para-cord work well
Buttons or Velcro are optional depending on tie-back preference

If making a mat, anticipate 3 yds/2.7m at least 50" wide plus pillow forms, bed pillows or foam. Pillows require more fabric and pillow forms. Other accents may require more material, leather lace, grommets, battery operated lights or accent trims like pom pom trim.

You Will Also Need:

Sewing machine and thread
Ruler or yardstick
Scissors or rotary cutter and mat
Chalk or pencil or fabric marker
Drill and bit to make holes in poles
