Fabric backdrop frame- a tutorial

From the fall inspired apple celebration this morning, a tutorial for easy (and cheap!) to make fabric party backdrops.

A pretty way to liven up a table and it can be created for under $20. Chris is here to share with us the tutorial for this piece…

Fabric party backdrop

The materials:
3 lengths of 1″ PVC pipe- two 7 foot poles, and one 5 foot pole (they will cut it to size for you at the hardware store). You’ll also need 2 “T” attachments, and 2 elbow attachments to fit the pipes; two medium size planters or buckets, and Quikrete.

The process:

For each 7 foot pipe attach 1 “T” and 1 elbow at either end, using super glue if you like. Insert the “T” end into a planter/bucket (make sure if there’s a hole in the bottom of the planter, you cover it).
Fill the planter/bucket near the top with Quikrete. Do this for both 7 foot poles and attach the 5 foot pole between the 2 using the elbow attachments.
Begin watering down the Quikrete in the bucket until it puddles on the top, but doesn’t overflow. The water will eventually sink down and you’ll continue to add water every 5-10 minutes until the puddle on top of the Quikrete no longer sinks down.
Let your frame set up overnight and then you are ready to hang your backdrop.

This is such an easy way to make any outdoor space celebration ready.
