The streamer should rest on the end of the crepe paper.The center of your canopy will be served by a hula hoop.The hula hoop will hold all of the streamers.
Step 2: The streamer's end should be stapled to itself.
You can use tape if you don't have a stapler.
Step 3: Cut the crepe paper after unroll it.
Each streamer needs to go from the center of the room to the outside wall.The streamer needs to be a few feet longer than the distance to achieve a drape.To be safe, you might want to overstate how long the streamer needs to be.You can adjust the drape of the streamer with this.It is possible to trim it later.It's easier to cut one streamer as a reference if you can measure the distance.The crepe paper should be rolled from the center of the room to the wall by a friend.Cut the streamer by adjusting the drape.You can use this streamer as a guide.

Step 9: Put streamers on the tape.
Attach streamers to masking tape.Cut the streamers in a straight line.When you move from one corner of the back-drop to the other, layer the streamers slightly and vary the colors.It is not necessary to cut every streamer to the same length.You will trim them when you're done.
Step 10: Place a piece of crepe paper over the top edge.
The masking tape should be placed along the top edge of the back-drop.Roll a streamer along the edge of the back-drop.The two small pieces of tape should be covered the same way.This will give your back-drop a clean, crisp edge.

Carefully trim each streamer near the bottom edge of the tape with a pair of scissors.Don't worry about trimming each streamer perfectly because you will cover the bottom with a streamer.
Step 13: Put a piece of crepe paper over the bottom edge.
Roll masking tape along the bottom edge of your back-drop.Roll a streamer along the taped edge.When the backdrop is done, you will have a piece of crepe paper to pose in front of.Two small streamers can be added to each corner to match the top.
