I bought 2 of these so they take up more space - I used them as a background in a photo booth. Just one of them is not enough to cover a large area of the wall. However, they work great! They're not as thick as you might expect, so you can see something behind them because the stripes are a bit separated, but that shouldn't be a huge problem if you have a plain background. You can easily save and reuse them. My cats have destroyed mine because they have so much fun playing with ribbons but if I ever need them I will be buying them from here again.
