DIY Circle Chuppah HELP

Ms.WinterWed, on August 3, 2017 at 3:47 PM Posted in Do It Yourself 0 11

Hi All! Has anyone made a circle Chuppah? I'm stuck on what to make the top, circle part out of. I have pvc pipe for the stands and metal torch holders to hold them up. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the actual circle part, without me having to spend an arm and a leg? Thanks!

    What do you plan on hanging from it? If you're doing a ring of flowers, you could probably do chicken wire and oasis foam. If you want fabric or something, you could do a wooden hoop?

    I don't think you're going to save a lot of money DIYing this. Plus you have to deal with set up and tear down. See if a local event rental company has what you're looking for.

    That looks like a LOT of work. AND a lot of fabric.

    Agree w pp, it seems like a lot of work. Unless you're setting up a day before. -we are getting ours from our florist. Do you have a local one

    I have thought of these things. People are not answering my specific question. I did not ask for people to say what they THINK i didn't think of, so you will be flagged as well. :-)

    My go to when I'm trying to DIY something I've not done before is to be open to the possibilities. Look on Craigslist, or wander the aisles at Home Depot, WalMart etc for anything round that could be used for the shape. You do need something strong enough to maintain it's shape. Hula hoops would sag with the weight of the draping.

    You can buy the frame and have your friend do the draping.

    or you could use an inexpensive grill gazebo for Walmart for the frame.
