Hello All
I figured that if anyone could help me, it would be here on the DIS!
SO, here's the challenge
I am in charge (volunteered) to host a nieces birthday party. We are setting up a candy buffet. I have researched everywhere and have got most everything figured out.
BUT....I would really like to make her "Candy Shoppe" have some type of awning, like the red and white stripe ones you saw on the olde time types. I just cannot figure out how to do it.
(if it was one simple window I would have used a double curtain with the second one under the first and had it drape over a rod but this is a flat wall of windows and I am so lost here!!)
I am using a rectangle table that will be placed against a bank of windows, floor to ceiling. I have no where else to set this up as the rest of house is already "involved" in other aspects of the party.
I'd like to have this "awning" come from the window wall and go over the table (or at least part of the table).
I am very willing to "create it" and or purchase minimally but have no idea where to start.
(We're having a complete scrapbook area set up (each child is getting an album to decorate 4 pages at party and then continue at home)and a photo booth area that we're making out of a "fridge" box.where we'll take a photo of the birthday girl with her friend and then send in the thank you card that follows.
SO, as you can see, we're pretty well organized with everything EXCEPT this awning idea that I cannot seem to figure out or give up on (yet
)
ANYONE have any ideas for me?? I would appreciate ANY help at all. Thanks so much!!!!
