We are especially in need of thin poles, like bamboo, & yellow or orange latex paint.
Here are some more items on our materials list:
duct tape- white or silver
shoelaces; zip ties; soft cord; heavy yarn
latex or acrylic paint in sun color, yellows, oranges, metallic, magenta
big dark magic markers or dark paint for making lines.
Ribbon or fabric for pinwheel streamers: blue, white and silver ribbon
Ribbon or fabric for solar disk streamers: orange, red, metallic
Poles under ¾” diameter at least shoulder height – bamboo, tree saplings, etc.
folding tables – or saw horse set
plastic or paper to cover tables – old cheap tablecloths are great.
Jingle bells, jingles /rattles from junk to tie to poles?
Here’s Robin with her mock-ups! She is envisioning the sun faces in yellow and oranges instead of the pink, and the pinwheels with blues hanging. We plan to paint the backs as well, and put our simple messages there.
