Decorating a ceiling takes more length than people expect. Four strands at 13 feet apiece come to 52 feet in total, which is enough to cross a living room twice and still have one strand left for a window. Each strand comes pre-strung and individually bagged, so the first thing out of the pack is not a knot.
The four strands measure 13 feet, or 4 meters, each. Hung together across one wall they make a dense backdrop; spread around a room they reach the ceiling, two windows and a dessert table. Having them separate rather than as one long rope matters when the party is in two rooms, since nobody has to cut a garland to split it.
Each strand carries 33 stars at 2.75 inches, cut from reflective cardstock with the glitter finish on both faces. A strand hanging in open air turns as people walk past, and a single sided star would flash a blank white back at the room. These keep catching the light from either side, which is the point of hanging them in a doorway.
The stars are joined by stitching through the strand rather than by glue dots, which is what usually fails. A glued star drops off mid party and the strand ends up with gaps. Sewn connections hold when the garland is rolled up at the end of the night and pulled out again months later, so the same four strands cover several events.
Gold stars do not belong to one occasion. The same strands have gone up for New Year countdowns, graduation parties, bridal showers, engagement dinners, baby showers and ordinary bedrooms where a child wanted something over the bed. Nothing on them names a date or an age, so what changes between events is the balloons underneath rather than the garland.
Two 54 by 108 inch covers printed like a field, yard numbers and all, for the snack table on the Sunday the big game is on.
Eight white covers scattered with gold dots, each 54 by 108 inches, for a first communion lunch or a reception with tables to spare.
