Sprinkles Backdrop

Materials:

2-3 yards of white muslin (118 in. wide bolt)
Twisting balloons
Permanent hem tape
Balloon pump

Instructions:

1. You can make 3-4 sprinkles with each balloon. Using the balloon pump, blow up a balloon a little bit and tie it off on both ends. Cut the other end and blow up the rest of the balloon and tie it off. Repeat one or two more times.

2. Put up the white fabric with push pins or other desired method. Steam or iron to smooth any wrinkles.

3. Attach the balloons to the fabric with hem tape. Concentrate the sprinkles at the top and let them taper off on the way down.
