    It would be very easy. The problem would be if you can hang it? If not you would need to make it like a stand. That is pretty easy too. You would make the fabric like curtain panels and slide them on a metal rod and suspend from ceiling. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHnFTg7sCRM you could make it like this but with a single one.

    I agree it should be pretty easy. But it isn't going to be cheap, if that's what you are going for. You'd be surprised how much fabric (or wide ribbon, which is what these look like) that takes, and how much it adds up.

    If you are ready for the expense, I've seen many tutorials on how to make a PVC pipe stand that you can then hang fabric/ribbon etc off of. You can just google it. Smiley smile

    We're doing one like this. http://lifeinthethriftylane.blogspot.com/2012/08/pvc-backdrop-tutorial.html

    We have the fabric picked out that we want to use. We just need to to not be on sale anymore so we can use our JoAnn's coupon (which is better than the sale price). Smiley tongue

    Oh yeah, we decided against the ribbon look because it would be too expensive.

    That does look easy, I tried finding venues that I wouldn't have to have a back drop. You might could rent them also.

    I made the first backdrop with strips of fabric. The total project cost me a little under $100. It was about 12 feet tall and 10 feet wide. If you utilize coupons, you save even more money on your fabric. Just check the discontinued fabrics. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out!
