I would leave it alone.
Or you could do some rope work on the sides, like tie it like a drum.
Maybe even have some rope ties coming down the sides and ending at mid point.

look up knots on YouTube for some rope work ideas.

Ok so this is the best advice you will ever get for your tiki bar.....
Don't rush around buying ANYTHING that is remotely able to work in your bar.

We all have tons of crap we bought and it was not that great then and it's still not that great only now it's in a box waiting to be thrown out.

WAIT, get the good stuff.
It will come.

Not many people find Tapa where they live, it comes mostly from eBay and Oceanic Arts, that's where I got mine.

Real Tapa is best, the best Hawaiian shirt looks like at the end of the day.... a Hawaiian shirt.
If your ok with that then use it.

The best place to get stuff for your bar is the tiki events as many people bring all the stuff we want.

For me if I don't think I would see it in the Kahiki or the Mai Kai or the many great bars, (Not good GREAT) you see on TC then I won't buy it.

I have never felt bad about buying the great stuff even when I paid too much, if anything I often wish I had bought more while I had the chance, the people I was nice enough to let get some of the Kahiki table lamps at the last sale they just ended up selling them for a huge profit in the end.

I could have done that myself!

Good luck!
