8.  Scatter the gold confetti flecks all over the dropcloth, making sure it is evenly distributed across the canvas

9.  Spray the entire fabric with another coat of the adhesive to ensure confetti is stuck (*Note: A clear coat of spray paint after the second layer of adhesive can also be used to limit the stickiness)

10.  Clip the canvas to the curtain rings on the top bar, spacing evenly
