I am using my tent for the first time tomorrow. I have been playing around with different ways to attach my banner. I have twine, bunji cords....What have you found works best for both staying power during the event and also ease in taking down and putting up?

Velcro. It comes in a long strip with a peel off back. I only use the peel and stick to hold it in position while i baste the velcro onto the tent and the banner. Doesn't bulk up. Easy to swap out another banner. No ropes to trip over.

Happy Painting!

Link-a-Loos (the plastic baby toy loops)... or shower curtain rings. I make a chain of them and go through my grommets

I live for shower curtain rings at festivals. I use them for so so many things, banners being among those things. I have also used them to link a rope across the legs to block off entrance, to hang tarps around it overnight, to hang a tie dye backdrop (looks nice, flows like a curtain) plus they can be used again and again. I buy them in packs of 12 at the dollar store.

I'm with you on this Melody. I love using shower curtain rings as well. I like the fact that they are inexpensive and you can use them for everything. And on top they come in all kind of colors and you can make a chain of them in multi-colors or the color you prefer.

I use zip ties. Make sure you have scissors to cut them down when you're done.
