1. CUT COLORED STRIPS

Using a rotary cutter or scissors, cut your tablecloths into strips.

I was going for a disheveled look, so my strips are 1.5″ wide and vary in length from 4.5′-6.5′.

The number of strips needed will vary on the height and width of you ideal backdrop. Mine was 7′ wide by 6.5 feet tall and I needed about 540 strips.

2. ATTACH FENCING TO PVC SUPPORT

Cut the plastic fencing to fit the width of your support stand, adding 1.5′-2′.

Starting at the top, wrap the ends of the fencing around the pvc pipe on both sides and secure with zip ties.

Repeat the process with another piece of fencing.

Zip tie the separate fence pieces together.

3. ATTACHING COLORED STRIPS

To add the fringe strips to your backdrop, fold it in half and push through a hole in the fence. Then pull a couple inches back through a nearby hole. Create a loop at the center and place the fringe ends through the loop. Pull the ends to make a taut knot.

4. PLACE FIRST LAYER OF COLORED STRIPS

Starting near the bottom of the backdrop, attach colored strips so they nearly touch the ground. To create a backdrop with groups of colors, add 20-40 of one color before switching to the next color.

5. ADD REMAINING COLORED STRIPS

Work your way up and across the backdrop, adding colored strips. There’s no right or wrong way. It just depends on your desired finished product.

6. THE TOP EDGE

When you reach the top, place colored strips in a straight line for a polished look.

7. OPTIONAL DECOR ELEMENTS

Depending on your theme, you may want to add other elements to your backdrop. It is absolutely not necessary. The bright colored fringe makes for a fabulous backdrop, as is.
