I have saved any good sized pieces of foam I have recieved in packages.  I round over the edges and make it look like a rock with a flat bottom.  Then I take green grass from wal-mart, I think I paid $2.50 for 4 bunches, separated the bunches and poke them into the "rock".  They stand about 3 feet tall and I can make 2 of them that are about 2 feet long for $2.50.  Great space filler!

God Bless,

Matt

You can stick all kinds of greenery in those foam shapes to make movable props. My husband use to bring home the foam packing from computers, I painted them and stuck balloons in them for coral when we did the SCUBA vbs years ago. Also have thrown the plastic grass from Easter baskets around them to cover them up. They are rather handy.

We plan to use a hallway of rooms for VBS (Not my first choice but it's all I could get!) but we're only using the last 2 at the end of the hall not the first 2.  I will be making several of them to stick in front of the doorway so my kids don't try to go in the wrong rooms!

God Bless,

Matt

We also used a lot of baskets that I got at garage sales, and put cheap nets in them, and kinda spread the nets so it was coming out of the basket.  OTC has bulk nets for a good price. 

Also, we used tall and short artificial trees and plants and spread them around.

There is a of pictures on another decorating website for the Jersalem Marketplace.  It has pictures of a museum displayed and it would be a great way to fill up the long space with bible artifacts (Goliath's sandal....) Here is the link.
