Sheer Tulle Decorating Fabric, 160 cm Wide, Selectable Yard Lengths
$13.16
Descripción
Shape a setting with colour, transparency and flowing folds. This 160 cm wide sheer tulle decorating fabric can be gathered into a wedding backdrop, draped along a celebration table or cut for your own chair-sash and craft projects. A single layer keeps the look airy, while folds and overlapping layers create a visually fuller colour effect.
This is unfinished fabric with raw edges, not a ready-made curtain, table skirt or installed backdrop. Choose your colour and the listed 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 or 20 yard length. The 160 cm measurement is the flat fabric width, not the gathered display width. Styled photographs may use multiple lengths, layers and separate supports; one selection does not automatically recreate a complete scene.

Why This Decorating Fabric
- Sheer visual layering: translucent fabric adds a colour wash without the solid appearance of an opaque backdrop.
- Width for creative gathering: the 160 cm flat width lets you compose folds and layers, with finished spread determined by how much fabric you gather.
- Project-led length selection: eight yard-length options let you plan small accents or larger designs without confusing width with length.
- Freedom to make your own finish: raw edges leave cutting and finishing to your project rather than supplying a fixed curtain heading or preset table attachment.

Where to Use It & How to Plan Your Fabric
This fabric suits DIY decorators and event stylists who want to create their own draped finish. Think wedding arches, photo backdrops, table overlays, gathered skirts and chair accents. It is a decorative material, not a supplied installation system.
Measure the route the fabric will actually follow, including vertical drops, the span over a frame and any folds or ties. A straight-line measurement across an arch is not the same as the fabric length needed to drape over it. For tables, decide whether the fabric runs along the top, drops over one end or gathers around the perimeter before choosing a length.
The 160 cm width is measured flat. Gathering reduces the width displayed; overlapping creates more visual density but uses additional fabric. Plan each panel or strip, its orientation and any finishing allowance before cutting. Any extra allowance is a project-planning choice, not a guaranteed coverage formula. Keep floor-level fabric outside walking routes and leave doors and exits unobstructed.

Size & Length Guide
Every listed length uses the stated 160 cm flat width. The chart converts the yard labels to centimetres; it does not describe the dimensions of a finished curtain or guarantee the coverage of a gathered design.
| Selected length | Length in cm | Flat width |
|---|---|---|
| 1 yard | 91.44 | 160 cm |
| 2 yards | 182.88 | 160 cm |
| 3 yards | 274.32 | 160 cm |
| 5 yards | 457.20 | 160 cm |
| 6 yards | 548.64 | 160 cm |
| 10 yards | 914.40 | 160 cm |
| 15 yards | 1371.60 | 160 cm |
| 20 yards | 1828.80 | 160 cm |
Conversions use 1 yard = 91.44 cm. These are nominal length conversions, not a cutting-tolerance promise. Measure your project, account for folds and finishing, and check the fabric before cutting.
Styling Tips & Suggestions

A flowing wedding arch
Run the fabric over a separately sourced stable frame and gather it at selected points to create an asymmetric or balanced silhouette. Pale greens work with botanical palettes; White or Ivory keeps the colour restrained. Measure the complete drape route, including both side drops, rather than using the arch width alone.
A layered photo backdrop
Hang multiple gathered lengths on suitable supports to build folds, then add a contrasting top swag if desired. Dark green can frame pale florals, while lighter tones create a softer background. This sheer fabric will not hide everything behind it; visual density depends on layers and lighting.
A draped reception-table overlay
Lay the fabric over a separate tablecloth and gather it loosely along the centre line. Wine red adds depth to a pale table, while pink tones can echo small floral accents. Include any end drops in your length plan and keep pooled fabric away from chairs and walking paths.
A handmade table skirt
Plan the finished drop and the length of table edge you want to dress before cutting strips or panels. Gathering takes up material, so flat fabric dimensions are not the same as the finished skirt dimensions. Supply your own attachment method and finish the raw edges according to the design you are making.
Coordinated chair sashes
Make a sample sash on the actual chair before cutting the rest. Measure the wrap route, knot or bow and intended tails, then repeat the finished design consistently. Keep tails clear of the floor and make sure the fabric does not interfere with sitting or moving the chair.
Birthday and celebration display tables
Use a sheer overlay or gathered front panel to connect the table with your selected colour palette. Leave serving and food-contact surfaces clear, and keep decorations out of children's reach. This is craft and event fabric, not a toy, bedding or a baby-sleep accessory.
Bouquet wraps, bows and small craft accents
Reserve shorter project lengths for decorative wraps and layered bows rather than expecting them to cover a full backdrop. Test the fold and final appearance before cutting multiple pieces. Use offcuts thoughtfully for coordinated details, keeping raw-edge finishing appropriate to your project.
Not Ideal For
- Ready-to-hang curtains: the fabric has raw edges, not supplied curtain headings or a completed installation.
- An opaque privacy backdrop: the sheer appearance allows the background to remain visible, depending on layers and lighting.
- Recreating a complete scene from one short length: full backdrops, swags and gathered skirts may need several lengths and separate supports.
- Baby bedding or play: this is decorative event fabric, not a sleep accessory or toy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this fabric or a finished curtain?
This is unfinished sheer decorating fabric with raw edges. It is not a ready-made curtain, table skirt or installed backdrop. Frames, hanging hardware, lights and flowers are not included.
How wide is the fabric?
The stated flat width is 160 cm. Gathering or folding reduces the displayed width, so this measurement is not a promise of finished backdrop coverage.
Which lengths can I select?
The listed length options are 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 10, 15 and 20 yards. One yard equals 91.44 cm. Choose the colour and length option required for your project.
How much do I need for a gathered display?
Measure the full drape route, drops, folds and any finishing allowance. Gathering and layering use additional material, so flat dimensions do not equal the finished display size. Styled photographs may use multiple lengths and separate supports.
Will one layer hide the background?
The fabric is sheer rather than opaque. The background can remain visible, and its appearance changes with lighting, folds and overlapping layers.
Important Notices & Disclaimers
- Raw unfinished fabric for decorative projects. Cutting, edge finishing and installation are the buyer's project steps.
- Keep fabric away from open flames, candles and heat sources. Use flameless lighting positioned clear of the fabric.
- Do not suspend fabric from lights, electrical fittings or unsupported fixtures. Have overhead work assessed and installed appropriately for the venue.
- Keep exits and walking routes clear. Keep loose fabric and ties away from children and do not use them in sleeping areas.
- Select the intended colour and yard length before ordering. Photographs may show extensive layering and accessories that are not included.
- Colour appearance varies with lighting and screens; one display does not guarantee the appearance of a selected colour in every setting.
