Here are the steps, from Point Click Home:

1. Lay the wreath down on newspaper outside.
2. Spray paint the wreath for an antiqued or frosted look, and let it dry.
3. Cut the ribbon into two separate one yard lengths (in half).
4. Pin a safety pin to the end of one length of ribbon, and slide it through the rod pocket of one of the curtain panel, gathering as you go.
5. Repeat using the other safety pin, ribbon length, and curtain panel.
6. Hide the ribbon from one panel between the leaves, tying it around the lower edge of the wreath.
7. Repeat with the other panel.
8. Trim off any excess ribbon.
9. Find the center of the wall, about four to six feet above your bed, and pencil it.
10. Hammer the nail into the wall.
11. Hang the wreath on the wall, and arrange the panels so that they wrap around the sides of your bed. Fini!
