Chuppa Construction: Attaching Fabric to the Poles

Although chuppa poles are typically set in a stationary base, another alternative is to have friends or family hold the poles. However, this means that the chuppa poles are going to be moving around, which might tear the fabric.

On A Practical Wedding, there's a post describing a very clever way to attach the fabric to chuppa poles (in this case our Paper Birch Poles) that will be carried by friends or family - bungee cords.

The bungee cords help reduce the tension on the fabric, reducing the risk that it will tear. Head over to the post on A Practical Wedding for more of the details.
