| Greetings to all,
Does anyone have ideas/plans for decorations? We're using the pop-up canopies for our market-place and wrapping the support corner-poles with Middle-Eastern looking fabrics....trying to keep things simple since it's going up and coming down on the same night. Any other ideas out there????
Thanks,
Gayle in CA

| | Some party places have a stone wall "scene setter" that folks have used at various HolyLand Adventures! Lots of pottery pieces, baskets and fake plants (or real ones!). Collect them from your volunteers or buy them at Goodwill, Old Time Pottery, etc. Palms can be made from a carpet tube, TONS of brown paper lunch sacks (tear the bottom off and slide the bag down the tube, scrunching each one as you go!), and palm leaves glued onto an old umbrella with the fabric stripped off. Just drop the handle of the umbrella down the top of the carpet tube and you're ready to go! Look for "Mexican" blankets or anything with a coarse, woven texture. You'll be amazed at how much just the tents and the fabric will decorate your area, though! And don't forget to decorate with smells and sounds as well. Those can really fill up the space!

| | We are using actual logs to build our marketplace. sounds like a lot of work to me but my first impressions director assures me it will be easy and great. We then are covering the diffferent sections with a paper like material....not sure what it is called or what it is exactly...but it has an old look and feel to it and doesn't tear. We are using styrofoam sheets to build the town and the well. We then will use lots of different material for draping. We have collected lots of wicker baskets and fake plants. Lanterns, gold or bronze looking items and whatever else we can find that looks old. I'm afraid I am coming up short and won't have as many decorations as I would like. But we'll make do. It's our first time ever doing anything like this so we'll go with what we have and see how it goes. I'm hoping that it will go so well that our church will get even more behind it next year and make it even greater. |

| I'm doing a shortened version of Bethlehem Village VBS tomorrow! We are keeping our decorations simple as well. We're not doing caniopes because we don't have a whole lot of money to spend. We are just setting up tables without the legs so their low to the ground. We are using lots of bible-times colored fabric.
