Make A Ceiling Canopy In A Cultural Hall

Velvet is a material that works best with a ceiling canopy in a cultural hall.


Cultural halls are found in museums, schools or historical buildings, Decorating a cultural hall might be a necessary task from time to time to commemorate special holidays, historical dates or receptions. Decorating a cultural hall can pose a big challenge because it confronts you with a large quantity of space to adorn and make festive. A ceiling canopy is an appropriate solution to this issue as it instantly transform the look and atmosphere of the hall, giving it a festive quality.


Instructions


1. Measure the length and width of your ceiling. Cut your fabric so that it is at least 6 feet longer and wider than the measurements of the ceiling. Choose fabric that people can't overlook easily in a space as large as a cultural hall, avoid more delicate fabrics like chiffon.


2. Spread the fabric out in front of you on a clean, flat surface, with the underside of the fabric facing upward. Cut a half-inch slit in the exact center of your fabric. Make another half-inch slit at the top right corner, 4 inches in from the edge. Repeat this step with the remaining three corners.


3. Cut five pieces of decorative cord, 3 feet in length. At the end of each cord, tie a small knot. Thread each piece of cord through the slits you've created, so that the knots are visible against the correct, front side of the fabric. Set your fabric aside.








4. Drill a hole in the exact center of the ceiling with a hand drill, standing carefully on a ladder. Since most cultural halls have high ceilings, you'll need to use an extension ladder or scaffolding. Screw in a 2-inch metal hook. Move your ladder to the far right corner of the ceiling. Drill a hole into the corner where the ceiling and wall meet. Repeat this step with the remaining three corners of the ceiling.


5. Move your ladder back to the center of the ceiling. Scoop up your fabric and drape it around your neck and shoulder. Tie the center cord from the center hook, securing it with a knot.


6. Move the ladder to the far right corner of the room, while grabbing the top right corner of the fabric. Tie the appropriate cord to this hook, securing it with a knot. Repeat this process with the remaining corners and your canopy will be hanging beautifully.
