Make A False Ceiling Using Tulle

A false ceiling made of fluffy tulle is perfect for a wedding, birthday party or holiday event. It's also an inexpensive way to achieve a glamorous look. Tulle is a lightweight material that comes in many colors and drapes beautifully. Create the illusion of a ceiling made from tulle without having to do a lot of work or investing a lot of money.


Instructions








1. Stick self-adhesive plastic hooks on the ceiling. Depending on how you want the tulle to drape, the hooks can be up to a foot away from each other. Use a level or ruler to make sure the hooks are even and the same distance away from each other.








2. Thread fishing line through the holes in the edges of the tulle, and tie the fishing line into small loops. Measure the distance between the loops so they will match up with the hooks you've secured on the ceiling.


3. Hang the fishing line loops you've created over the self-adhesive hooks. The tulle is light enough that it should easily be supported this way. Drape the tulle as much as you like, and repeat the process for the other sides of the ceiling until the tulle is covering the entire ceiling, creating a beautiful fake tulle ceiling decoration.
