It really helps to double-check your spacing by placing the backdrop against a blank wall! Command brand sticky hooks work great, and are damage-free. To keep the waterfall effect, space the bundles a few inches more apart each time. This uses up all 35 small flower bundles you made in Step 5. The remaining hemp lengths each include 4 small flower bundles total, excluding the two end lengths, which include 3 small flower bundles. Tie one small flower bundle under each wisteria bundle, just as you did in the middle length. Tie wisteria bundles on each of the remaining 8 hemp drops along the rope, using up all of your large flower bundles. Again, this middle drop was about 65″ long in our piece. This gives that gradated waterfall effect to the backdrop. Repeat tying small bundles (the middle drop includes 5 small bundles total) down this long length, spacing each a few more inches apart each time. Cut the excess hemp from this knot (again, be careful not to cut the long hemp length!). Tie a small flower bundle onto the middle hemp drop, right under the large wisteria bundle.

We created 35 small floral bundles – feel free to change up the number depending on the look you are going for. Small rosebuds work really well in the lower bundles, and they won’t weigh down the piece.Īgain, make sure you cut the sprigs right after a crook in the branches, which helps a spot to tie knots more securely. You can choose to even just use more greenery for an earthy, more neutral piece. We suggest waiting until the very end, in case you’d like to slide your bundles up/down the hemp slightly to fix spacing.Ĭreate smaller floral bundles (repeating the technique in Step 2) with one small greenery sprig and smaller flowers. You can choose to glue your knots after you make them, or at the very end. Cut the excess hemp from the floral bundle- but don’t cut the long length of hemp! You’ll continue to use this length to tie on more floral bundles. Again, tie very tightly! Align the top of the stems to hit just below the rope for a nice dangling effect. Tie on one floral bundle from Step 2 to this long length of hemp. Be careful to not tangle the cords too much – it helps to work on the floor during making this piece, laying each cord in its respective spot ! Glue all of your knots. Working outwards, tie 4 pieces of hemp on each side of the middle piece, spacing them about 7″ apart. Gluing these knots really helps secure them – you can also use a bit of hot glue, but it tends to get a bit messy if you aren’t careful. Tie tightly! Cut any excess cord, and glue the knot with a very small amount of craft glue. Tie the very end of one hemp piece to the middle of the rope. Adjust your measurements depending on the scale you’re trying to create – cut longer lengths if needed. Our backdrop was close to 65″ long at the middlemost point. Set the bundles aside.Ĭut 10′ of the larger natural rope and find the exact middle.Ĭut nine 6′ pieces of thin hemp cord. We ended up with 9 total wisteria drops – uneven numbers work best to get a waterfall effect. Repeat with the rest of your larger foliage/flower pieces. When trimming, be sure to cut after a crook in the branches – this leaves you with the perfect tying area! Cut a 6″ piece of hemp and very tightly tie the two trimmings together. This prevents the backdrop from being too bottom-heavy. You’ll want to choose the largest/heaviest flowers to add first, then gradate down with smaller-sized floral accents. We paired a greenery stem with one wisteria drop for the topmost layer in the backdrop. Trim your selected flower stems/foliage so that they are organized into paired groups. You can find all of these materials at your local craft chain store. You’ll need thick natural jute rope, thin natural hemp cord, scissors, wire cutters (for cutting the faux flowers), faux foliage/flowers (in your chosen color scheme – we used wisteria, white cherry blossoms, small roses and complimentary greenery) and clear-drying craft glue or hot glue.
