Easy Setup Instructions

Easy wedding decor on a budget how to setup tunnel draping

1. place (4) 10 foot long crossbars on the ground, arrange them as if they were making a boxed square, and center this box on the space you want to drape
2. put base plates at the bottom edges of all the crossbars (make sure ferrule pin is screwed into center hole)
3. slide uprights into the baseplates ferrule pin (do not force upright down onto ferrule pin all the way if they don’t fit, only force down 50% if tight)
4. attach crossbars between (2) uprights slots, make sure crossbar is in the slot all the way (do this for all crossbar sections)
5. now that you have a fully completed skeleton, throw (2) pieces of fabric over each crossbar(try to keep the same amount of fabric on both sides of a single crossbar when throwing it over) Tip if you are using silver sequin or gold sequin fabric then you will insert the top crossbar into the pole pocket
6. pleat fabric overlap fabric edges & cover any hardware on the 2 sides (not the entrances)
7. pleat all entrance drapes 1/3 coverage on crossbar
8. zip tie open ends of 4 entrance fabric pieces to crossbars
9. Drape valance on entrance & cover crossbar completely, do this by finding the middle, working towards an end, accordion it in your hand & zip tie it to the top of the upright. Repeat this step for the other end of fabric without it being too low (this creates a full valance)
10. Repeat step 9 for the second entrance, keep the two valance entrances the same height and fullness
11. create the roof by throw 2 or more pieces of fabric over the 2 crossbars that will be considered your walls for the tunnel (try to keep an even amount of fabric on both sides of the crossbars)
12. next pleat the ceiling fabric from doorway to opposite end, try to overlap the fabric to close ceiling gaps
13. create an even height to your ceiling draping by reaching your hand through a sidewall & pulling the very last layer of fabric, repeat this until you have an even ceiling from both sides (this may take fifteen minutes)
14. raise uprights individually in 2 foot increments until entire backdrop is 10 foot high
15. pull back 2 left pieces of fabric closest to the door and gather towards left upright, adjust fullness by accordion pieces in hand, attach with zip-tie or pipe cleaner to left upright (roll the bottom of this big pile of draping under itself)
16. pull back 2 right pieces of fabric closest to the door and gather towards right upright, adjust fullness by accordion pieces in hand, attach with zip-tie or pipe cleaner to right upright(roll the bottom of this big pile of draping under itself)
17. repeat steps 15 & 16 on the opposite entrance of your tunnel
18. finalize bottom of tunnel walls tucking & rolling the bottom so that guests don’t step on it, do this until you have a clean look
