Abstract: A modular material hanging assembly is provided for adjustably hanging pieces of material, such as swags, to form a plurality of arcuate folds of varying radii in the material. The material is hung by material holding brackets consisting of a main assembly with a J-shaped member vertically attached to a wall and an L-shaped adjustable arm attached to a first extension member such that a tie member with material gathered on it can be attached to securements on each member to form the arcuate folds of varying radii in the material. Further, an auxiliary bracket, consisting of an L-shaped member vertically attached to the wall with a telescoping extension member, can be attached to the material holding bracket so that a cascade can be draped over the auxiliary bracket.
