swagging
Decorating with fabric
Swagging is moving or behaving with swagger—a confident, sometimes cocky demeanor: He came swagging into the party like he owned the place.
In decorating, swagging means arranging fabric or garlands in draped curves: She spent the afternoon swagging ribbon across the mantelpiece.
The slang sense dominates casual speech.
