When you actually get them on the ceiling and look at your finished product, you’d never guess it’s Styrofoam. My advice (from watching hours of YouTube videos and doing research) is to find the center of the ceiling and work your way out. It took us two hours to do a fairly large space.

We ordered this for our new table and let me tell you the most amazing thing about it is that fact that it never appears to get dirty. We have five kids that eat like little pigs and I swear this tablecloth hides all evidence of this. If you are just walking by or are within about 2 feet of the table it gives the appearance that there are no spills or drips at all.
