How do you put a luau skirt on a table neatly?

Question

I look in pictures and all I see are grass table skirts falling apart and barely on the table. Is there a way to just make it look as nice as this photo?

If someone could help me, it would be much appreciated.

Answer 1

The skirt is afixed to a rope. You size the rope a tad smaller than the table so it can't slip off. You can also use double-sided tape on the back of the rope or on the edge of the table. The secret though is the rope being a bit smaller than the table top.

Answer 2

double sided tape...
