Please can I have measurements of your backdrop if possible I would really appreciate

[@user-qb7zy8fv6u]

Great job sir, thank you for taking your time to explain the process. Love the end result 👌 👏 👍

I noticed you have an Ohio shirt on so I’m assuming you’re from Ohio! Is there any way I could rent these from you for my daughters birthday party next month?

[@yeahbabygoods]

you can send me a DM @yeahbabygoods!

[@cincinwilliams1170]

Can you lean this on a wall instead of putting the wood on the back?

[@araselemadrigal7014]

What was the total spent including paint and everything?

[@krkruithof]

Around $120!

[@justme1106]

Hi i have a question. 😭 How much did you spend just on the cardboards

[@zoel87]

You didn’t mention what mm thickness the mdf is? Please can you advise Thanks

[@alexandraguillen8163]

This was the most straight forward video I’ve seen! Thank you so much 😊

[@frankiabreedlove]

This was the best tutorial I've seen in a long time. Thank you

[@AgWhatsUp]

Can you give a rough cost for all of the materials? Wood, paint, etc

[@danielaramirez503]

This is so sooo helpful! These guys are so expensive to rent in Los Angeles and I thought it would be way too complicated to DIY. Thank you!! One question - you mentioned you would have leaned the center arch back a little. If I just wanted the one center arch, would it stand okay on the frame it's attached to, or would you still recommend to tilt it back slightly? I guess I am wondering if the wind was blowing over the center arch that was stabilized by the frame or not? Thanks!

[@krkruithof]

I think it would be fine if you are just doing the center one!

Oh sorry, I’m signed on with a different account but this is my video 🥰

[@danielaramirez503]

@@krkruithof Awesome, thank you again!

[@aliciacoley8591]

You guys are amazing! Thank you for making this tutorial.

[@marissacrouch6124]

Can you use circular saw

[@albertg7144]

For the support just a big 2x4 down the middle flat plywood ton the Bottom and just put a brick on top

[@katyadamson2756]

what was your total cost for all supplies?

[@ethanheikens5705]

I just finished one, and I want to say the wood was about $100, you can use paint samples instead of gallons which are pretty cheap, then some screws which isn't much. If you don't have a jigsaw, that'll be between $100-200 probably

[@saimahshahid]

Hi could you give the dimensions of the boards?

[@kiranmaiganadi4296]

Hi, thanks for the tutorial., how much paint does this project need do we have to apply primer?

[@karlasalgado6780]

Would Hardboard Tempered Panel work for this as well?

[@bige1577]

So the big first piece is 6ft after the arch ?

[@hottazreenz]

what thickness MDF did you use

[@how2q]

Use 1/4"....easier to work with and much lighter!!

[@skhemborlangkharkongor7940]

You did great work.... 👍👍 From india,

[@adamra301]

Is mdf better and easier to use?

[@how2q]

yes and less likely to warp

[@Jenoveryonder]

Couldn’t you use foam?

[@josephineespejo3265]

Wow! I loved it!

[@gloriamensah8900]

Pretty balloon colors! What colors and brand did you use?

[@yeahbabygoods]

We ordered a kit the Etsy shop WonderfultimeStore. This is the 9 foot garland length. The balloon colors were doubled cream peach, doubled apricot and double matte coral. www.etsy.com/listing/953089694/
