Aloha, Tikiwmm.

Thanks for the compliment. To attach the bamboo to the doorframe, I split the bamboo, pre-drilled holes for screws and then screwed them into 1" x 2" lengths of wood. Then I covered the screws with pieces of rope, which were hot glued together. I then stapled velcro on the wood strips and on the doorframe itself (I could've used adhesive velcro, but that would have left a residue) and just stuck the pieces on. It actually worked out really well. When the party was over, I just pulled off the bamboo/wood strips, pulled out the staples on the doorframe velcro and it looked as if nothing had been there. Also, I did stain what I thought would be the visible portions of the wood (if you got close you could see about 1/4" on the sides) just to make the look flow.

Thanks for the question.

Please let me know if you have more.
