Cut strips of gold metallic streamers long enough to hang from your backdrop. Cut additional strips from orange, pink and blue streamers. I used a photography backdrop stand to hang my backdrop from, but you could also attach your backdrop to a wall, fence or another solid surface if you don't have a backdrop stand.

Layer the decorated Macrame Backdrop Curtain on top of the streamers. Layer the smaller Macrame Garland and pom-pom garland you made earlier on top of the curtain. Add Foam Pumpkins in a variety of sizes around the bottom of the stand to create the perfect party backdrop.
