Using this curtain backdrop is a breeze. First, find a suitable place for your event and set up the backdrop stand (you'll need to buy it separately). Then, slide the curtain rods through the 3' diameter rod pockets on the backdrop and attach it to the stand. You can choose to show the chiffon side for a softer look or flip it to display the shiny sequins. When it comes to maintenance, it's best to spot - clean any stains gently with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid machine - washing as it might damage the sequins. Also, store it in a dry place to prevent any mold or mildew growth. And that's all you need to know to make the most of your beautiful backdrop!
