Using this ceiling drape is easy. First, if you want the look shown in the pictures, make sure to purchase multiple panels. Then, pass a rod through the 4 - inch rod pockets at both ends of the drape. Hang it up wherever you need, like on the ceiling of a wedding venue or a party stage. Remember, the drapery hardware kit is sold separately, so you'll need to buy it if you don't have one. As for maintenance, spot - clean the drape as needed. Keep it away from open flames because although it's fire - retardant, it's always better to be safe. Store it in a dry place when not in use to prevent wrinkles and damage.
