Anyone know how to drape tulle on a slanted ceiling?
We are redoing dds bedroom and there is one wall on the side of her bed that I thought might look cool to drape with tulle from the top of the slant to the bottom. Just not sre about how to go about it. I also searched google images for an hour and couldnt find a pic. I know what I want in my head but unsure how to make it happen. Any tips or hints or pics would be appreciated
TIA

Maybe you could staple the top hem of the tulle to a thin piece of lath, flip it over once and nail to the top peak of the ceiling, then do the same at the bottom hem, attaching to where the ceiling meets the wall?

So that is covers part of the ceiling and the wall coming down ?
I'd probably use lightweight cafe curtain rods and brackets, sewing the pockets to put the rods thru.
The bottom the tulle should have some fabric weights sewn in so that it hangs a bit better, or attached at the bottom of the wall with another curtain rod.

Jess, I just saw this pic on pinterest and thought of your post. You could probably do something like this on the slanted wall. Image Attachment(s):

This was my first thought too - it should work.
Just an FYI though - it will probably get REALLY dusty and I don't think it will be too easy to clean. You might be better off getting sheer drapes that are machine washable.
