When planning my parties, I always start with the backdrop. Sometimes I like to create something subtle and other times I want something bold to be the focal point. When I recently styled a Fall Fiesta Bridal Shower, I knew I wanted my backdrop to be bold and vibrant. So I decided to create a flowing backdrop with streamers, lace and tissue paper pom-poms. This project took a bit of time, but at the end was worth every minute, it complimented my party table perfectly!
Start by cutting the desired length of Paper Streamers, then fold. I cut 3 yards per streamer for my backdrop and had about 60 streamers hanging.
Cut slits on the both sides of the streamers. Unfold and you have fringed streamers!
The Ivory Lace Ribbon Chair Cover makes perfect lace streamers when cut. Simply leave the cover folded and cut it into thirds to make ribbons. Cut slits on the sides of the lace ribbon like you did with the streamers.
Hang up the streamers and lace ribbons.
Hang up the pom-poms to your preference. You can either let the streamers flow straight down like a curtain or tie them back to the side as I did above.
