    • Dress up any outfit or gown by adding beading, cording, fancy fabrics, fringe, etc.
    • Not the right color? Take a can of spray paint to the dress.

• Make homecoming posters and sports posters with posterboard and poster paint and decorate your venue like a high school.

• Decorate your home like a high school gym with streamers and a disco ball.
