ADVICE FROM A PRO
Matt’s tip
“These paper cone party backdrops look best when you hang each strand fairly close together. You wanโt to avoid leaving too large a gap between each garland, otherwise you dilute the โcurtainโ effect and it looks less like a backdrop and more like general hanging decorations.
Also, give some thought as to what will be behind the paper cone backdrop. I think these actually look best when theyโre NOT hung up against a wall. If you keep each strand close together, itโs actually best to have some open space behind them to make the most of the โcurtainโ effect.
If youโre planning to hang these from a backdrop stand, Iโd recommend you choose one thatโs got a decorative frame, rather than the basic black metal backdrop stand, as the delicate strands wonโt be able to hide the legs, sides, and crossbeam very well.
Check out my Backdrop Stands, Frames, and Fixings page for tips on different ways to hang a backdrop.
Alternatively, you could hide the backdrop frame by surrounding it with a balloon garland, paper flowers, orโfor a more natural lookโsome artificial flower / garlands / vines. (Check out the links at the end of this post).
You can also personalize these backdrops by pairing them with a custom name sign. Check out my round-up of creative party signs here or preview some in the images below.“
