Super September 2017

Done with DIY backdrop! Updated picture in comments

TealWedding, on June 9, 2017 at 5:47 PM Posted in Planning 0 21

Guys I'm SO EXCITED! I just finally finished our backdrop for the wedding. I have a picture of the inspiration, and what it looks like boxed up (in comments). I did 90 strands and it took forever. I'm so glad it's out of the way. Did anyone else decide to do this?

    You don't have a picture of it hanging to compare to your inspiration? I'm not sure what we're supposed to say about it boxed up? The inspiration picture is cool.

    Well if I hung it up I'd probably spend 3 hours getting it back into the box. Just wanted to share my excitement! It took me 3 months.

    It's wax paper. The whole thing cost less than $20.

    They are beautiful! Are they cones? I wanted to do a photo booth in a similar style- inspiration picture attached! Advice?

    Yes they are cones. If you put "wax paper backdrop" into YouTube there's a woman who describes how to do it. It took longer than I thought it would. But still SO cheap and fairly simple. Good luck!

    I think you should try it once even if it takes hours. Since its a DIY, I wouldn't want to chance the first time being day of.

    Wow! I've seen those before and knew I wouldn't have the patience for it. I'm not great with repetitive things that take hours. If there are a bunch of different steps and it takes hours then I'll do it haha. Congrats on finishing it!! One step closer to the day!

    I decided to try 5, just to get a little of the effect. On the day of they'll be tied closer to the ribbon. It works! I love it.
