My favorite types of projects for weddings are those that use inexpensive materials in an unconventional way to create a big impact at your event. This fringe backdrop is exactly that. The metallic fringe curtains are friendly on your wallet. Layering different colors, and cutting some away, creates a dimensional backdrop that’s perfect for behind your ceremony spot, your sweetheart table, or your cake. Put a few fringe curtains next to each other to cover a wall of any length. Imagine a super long wall completely covered in metallic fringe?!? I bet that’s what Heaven looks like.

Start with the gold fringe curtains. Tape them up on a blank wall. I wanted my curtain to be 5′ wide, so I cut one foot off of one of the 3′ wide curtains. I like the way this drapes onto the floor, although you can hang yours to just kiss the floor as well.

Tape up the next layer of fringe curtain. Here I did the black one next. I love how the gold is peeking through.

On an angle, cut away part of the black fringe curtain. It’s OK if it’s not perfectly straight. You can always go back and touch up each strand. I did a sharp angle going down from the right to the left.

Tape the silver curtains to the wall. Cut the silver curtain in an opposite angle as the black fringe.

Add on the final layer of fringe, the white curtains. Cut those into two triangle shapes pointing down.
