Ideas to make a "blue carpet" for "Under the Sea" homecoming?

Question

We always have a walkway in our main hallway for homecoming. The hallway is very long. Usually we do these crappy rolls of thin plastic kind of stuff, but people like to rip those right away. Any ideas for something durable that can make a blue carpet?

Answer 1

Nothing that would be affordable - but you could try Oriental Trader for cheap decoration.  I know there are companies that sell bulk for school decorations - proms & such - fabric from there may be an option

Or try blue spot light shinning on the floor - or blue & green that will move or change (check stores that may have some Christmas stuff tucked away in storage)

Here is one bulk fabric supplyer: http://www.onlineeei.com/fabrics.cfm

This gossamer would be sturdier than paper and I think it looks neat too!

Answer 3

You can get the rolls of blue paper, or you can still use the plastic, just put multiple layers, so if one gets ripped, there is still blue underneath them.

Another cool idea would be to have the walkway thick with balloons... the only problem with that is to blow up all those balloons.

Answer 4

Get an actual strip of carpet, but dont get it installed

or you could just look for a rug of some sort like a runner
