Theme – Tassels

What you need to get a somewhat similar look:

• Tassels – 20 pieces for Rs 500. Buy them on Amazon here. You will need around 200-240 to create the canopy so that’ll set you back by Rs 5000-6000. They can be easily made at home do. Here is a DIY tutorial
• Pillowcases – Rs 400 for 5 pieces of these bright pink cases. Buy them on Amazon here. You can get another colour too and have overall 10-15 pillows which will cost you about Rs 1200
• Trunks – Rs 5000 for 4 trunks (second hand shop or local market –spray paint them with whichever colour you like at home)
• Miscellaneous pieces – Plain bed sheets, rent for mattresses, pillows, string and flowers (Around Rs 3000)

What you need to do:

• If you are doing this in an open space, have your local carpenter do some wooden stands across the width of the place (two ends) – Approx cost should be Rs 5000
• Tie 6-8 lines of string/ twine from one end to the other and tie colourful tassels on it. (Make sure its strong enough to take the weight of the tassels)
• Place the painted trunks in between the seating areas.
• If you don’t want cots, you can also opt for plain baithak type mattresses across the space!
