The Tinsel Foil Fringe Curtain

What it is

The Tinsel Foil Fringe Curtain is a sheet of metallic PET foil cut into fine, shiny strands. The finish has a glitter look that catches light and adds movement to a wall, arch or table edge. Each strand hangs from a solid top strip, so the curtain keeps a straight line once it is up.

This is a decorating piece, not a fabric drape. It suits wedding backdrops, photo walls, party walls, dessert table skirts and doorway trim. Because the foil is light, it works on indoor walls and covered outdoor areas where it will stay dry.

Sizes and pack options

Size is listed per curtain. A 2-pack gives you two curtains of the same size, which is helpful when you want to cover a wider wall or wrap a table on more than one side.

Measure your space before you pick. For a backdrop, two long curtains side by side cover about 78 in (200 cm) across. For a table skirt, one long curtain covers a single side of most banquet tables.

Colors

There are 32 colors, grouped into two finishes.

Laser finishes shift and shimmer as the light moves: laser pink, laser purple, laser silver, laser light blue, laser black, laser gold, laser rose gold, laser blue, laser red, laser green, laser rose red and laser champagne.

Solid metallic finishes hold one steady tone: pink, silver, blue, purple, rose gold, light blue, gold, red, green, black, rose red, champagne and light green.

Pastel finishes are softer and more matte in feel: pastel pink, pastel blue, pastel white, pastel yellow, pastel orange and pastel purple. Orange is also available.

If you are matching a wedding palette, order the colors you are considering together so you can compare them in your venue light. Laser silver and silver read differently on a bright wall than they do in a dim room.

How to hang and use it

Unroll the curtain and let it hang for a few minutes so the strands settle. The top strip can be taped, pinned or stapled to a wall, arch frame or table edge. For a cleaner look, attach it behind a frame or under a table lip so the top strip stays hidden.

For a photo backdrop, hang one or two long curtains at eye level or higher and let them fall to the floor. For a table skirt, attach the top strip along the table edge and let the fringe fall to the floor or to a length you trim with scissors. For an arch, use one curtain per side and meet them at the top.

Layer colors if you want more depth. A laser color over a solid color gives a two-tone effect that reads well in photos. Keep the strands loose. Tight bunching makes the fringe look flat.

Care and storage

Wipe the foil with a damp cloth when it picks up dust or marks. Do not iron it. Heat will damage the metallic finish and melt the strands.

After your event, smooth the strands with your hands, roll the curtain loosely around a tube or fold it flat, and store it in a dry place. Keep it away from sharp edges and open flame. With careful handling, it can be used again for a second event.
