Hi,
Does anyone have some cost effective ways of decorating a huge gymnasium? ----the walls are very high. The only idea I have come up with this year is huge over sized evergreen trees cut out of paper.
They are having a fund raising craft sale late November so I would like to keep the decorations up through the whole Christmas season.
There are numerous other events in the gym during the season as well.
Thanks---

how about a cost effective way of GETTING a huge gymnasium? haha
We have a small building and would like a huge one.

How about that white netting I think it's called tulle I think it's pretty cheap and white Christmas lights.

I wouldn't think that would be very expensive, it might look like glistening snow and would go with everything because it's white.

That was my thought too...
tulle, white mini lights and garlands of evergreen (artificial, so it lasts).
It goes with everything and can stand alone or be added to easily.

Very funny! I wish at times the gym would shrink---just for decorating on a shoe- string budget. Yes, the communtiy we are in has used this facility for a multi-purposes so that has been an out- reach opportunity
What did you have in mind secifically in using the tolle and mini lights--- (swagging?,draping?, cascading? what?)
I'm having a brain drain here.

Yes...swagging, draping, cascading....
Big help I am, huh?
I actually wouldn't worry about taking the decorations all the way to the top.
Most people don't go much above eye level unless the decor is quite dramatic.
