Cap Printed In Foil
The graduation cap motif is what separates this from a generic fringe curtain in school colors. Standing at the far side of a room, the caps read immediately, so a photograph taken in front of it is obviously from a graduation party rather than any celebration with shiny decorations. Red and black covers a large share of school palettes without being tied to a particular institution.
Panel Height And Width
Each panel is 3.3 feet wide and 6.6 feet tall, which is roughly a doorway in width and a little taller than most guests. Hung side by side, two panels cover a photo booth backdrop wide enough for four people; hung alone, one covers a standard interior door. Measure the drop first, because a panel that pools on the floor gets stepped on within the hour.
Peel The Backing Strip
Setup runs to one step. Peel the backing from the tape along the top edge, press the strip onto a smooth surface, and let the strands fall. Doors, painted walls, windows and the front of a cabinet all work. Because the foil is light, the tape holds it without help, and pulling the panel down at the end of the night is a matter of seconds rather than a repair job.
Entryway, Dessert Table, Stage
A fringe panel is not only a backdrop. Hung in an entryway it makes guests walk through something on the way in; behind a dessert table it gives the cake a background that reflects the room light. For a prom or a senior night the same panels line a stage front or a doorway between two rooms, and the reflective surface does most of the work in a dim hall.
