With a black/white/gray room I decided to go with a maroon punch of color. I'll be honest, I was looking for dark gray crepe paper. Sadly, the party supply store had a very limited color selection...very limited...like 18 colors (may seem like a lot, but it isn't, trust me). A bit of luck, my second choice color (maroon) was on clearance, yay!
Next step was to set the ruffles. Just wanting a quick weekend craft, I went with the quick and painless method: crinkle up the streamers, lay some Mod Podge, and stick the streamers down.
Like I said, this was a quick project. I made two of these, both were finished in a little over an hour.
It adds a nice punch of color to the room. Total cost about $9 for the materials needed.
I really like the height they are hung at--plenty of room for a future headboard. Is the white on the side the canvas showing through? You may want to touch up with paint if visible from the side in other room. Very nice idea; I particularly like the texture.
