Hanging Sheer On Ceiling

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with hanging sheer on ceilings as decoration. (That draped affect covering the majority of the facility`s ceiling) Is it pretty pricy? Is the best idea to go to a fabric store and buy large amounts of fabric?

I don`t know your area but here we have a store called JoAnn`s Fabric. It`s national so chances are you have one near. They have been a lifesaver from floral, fabric, and accessories. They have a website as well, www.joann.com. If you watch their ads, available by mail, in store, and online, they have really great sales. I bought all my dress fabtic on sale. They had satin at $2 a yard last week and I opted for a sheer for the ceiling at my reception and bought 80 yds for around $40. They are willing to order whatever you need as far as fabric. Even if it isn`t on sale if you sign up for their mailing you get 40% coupons. It has been so helpful I haven`t paid full price for anything. Hobby lobby also has sales I haven`t found them as helpful for fabric, but they are great for silk floral. Hope this offers some help.
