Measure For Tulle Decorations On A Ceiling







You can decorate a wall several different ways with tulle. Since tulle is a silk--like fabric that resembles a sheer curtain, you can use it as a backdrop fabric to cover an unsightly wall or use it as a sconce and drape it over brackets mounted along the upper wall. This gives a drapery appearance and provides a luxurious feel to your room's d cor. You must measure the ceiling and wall to make sure you purchase tulle long enough for your needs.








Instructions


1. Place a tape measure against the wall where you want to start your tulle decoration and extend it across the room to the parallel wall. Jot down the measurement.


2. Determine how many downward arches you want in your tulle and determine how far you want those arches to drop. For example, six large arches that drop 24 inches each would make for a stunning decoration. Multiply the number of arches by how far you want them to drop.


3. Determine how far you want the tulle to hang down on each end of the wall. A length that extends to within a few inches of the floor looks nice. To determine the exact measurement, measure down from the location where you will attach the tulle down to the location where you want the tulle to stop. Multiply the resulting number by two since you have two overhangs.


4. Add all of the numbers together to determine the total length of tulle you need.
