Looks like embroidery canvas or non-skid shelf liner.

the description says the band was made by pressing it into a grid. It reminds me of a large strainer type imprint.

Wondering if you could use real lace? Any thoughts?

Looks like those ceiling grids that you get for flourescent ceiling fixtures (2 ft by 4 ft sheets.)

Where did you purchase yours- I can't find it online.

Are you talking about the covers that go over the fluorescent lights. I don't think I have seen a cover that looked quite like that, then again maybe I've never paid that much attention either.

That is what I was going to say. You can actually get them in several different textures.

They are flat - go into the drop ceiling grids. Check out your local home improvement store.

That's what I think also, and they are very reasonable. I used 2 different ones on my princess pillow cake. icon_smile.gif

You could try e-mailing Ron and asking him what he used...
