I left about 2 inches before I started fringing from the top, so that I had space to easily attach from. Once your pieces are cut into the long strips, it’s time for the fringing! Really, it’s just A LOT of small cuts.
If you have a small room, as in a residence, you may want to consider going even narrower.ĭon’t worry about the cuts being perfectly straight – I mean, don’t go crazy either – but if you sway a little, it just adds character! I measured mine about every 6 to 8 inches as I was cutting to make sure I wasn't veering off to one side or another. I thought the 20-inch width might be overwhelming for our space, so I cut each strip in half “hot-dog style” in order to essentially double my quantity (an added perk). Get ready to “just keep snipping.” That was my motto! (See step 3, as there are various ways one could go about hanging up the giant fringe, which range from extremely simple to a bit more complex.)

Other items to have handy include a good pair of scissors (sharp plus a good grip) and whatever supplies you need to hang it. As you can see, the backdrop was quite large, but that meant more colors for us! The pieces were 20 inches wide, so all I did was divide my backdrop's width by 20 to get the number of rolls to order. From this supplier, the paper comes in approximately 8-foot lengths, which is perfect for a backdrop. Make sure you know how much you need before you order.
Best of all, the paper was high quality enough that I didn’t have any issues with it ripping. It's reasonably priced and has a great selection of colors.
