Decorating for an Oz-Themed Fall Festival: Ideas & Inspiration!

[pamperedchefqueen]

Ok, same question about an upcoming fall festival with an Oz theme! Help! I can dress as Dorothy or a witch. (lol) but how to Make my booth seem Oz themed? Help! I am so crap at ideas.

Go mini! Like the munchkins. Mini muffin pan. Make a yellow brick road through your display table. The scarecrow was on a farm so things for fruits and veggies ie. corn. Tin man was in an apple orchard so apple tools. The lion was in a forest so I would go with meat related things. He's a lion after all.

And the Emerald City at the end - green knives! I'm better with the ideas than implementing it.

Since you asked so nicely in the other thread, my thought was have a picnic basket with all of our outdoor products in it. (I remember a picnic basket in the movie, I think.) Even though it's a fall show, people can buy ahead or for Christmas gifts or such.

Stainless steel products, either the bowls or cookware, could be used for the Tin Man.

Becca had some great ideas, too. Make all mini items (even have the pan there so people can see how nice it is) and display them on the 3-tiered platter, either variety). If you have both the new round one and the older version that holds squares, maybe make one with mini desserts and one with mini appetizers, depending upon how much work (and money) you want to put into it, and depending on the rules and regulations regarding food and such at the fair. Also, consider anticipated attendance so you don't expend a ton of money and get little in return. A cute display idea is some blue gingham fabric like Dorothy's dress. Might be able to find some on clearance now since summer is almost over.

Oooh, the Salad and Berry Spinner could represent the tornado! That would be fun.

Another Emerald City idea is the new Cool and Serve Tray.

You must incorporate the lollipop guild some how! Either a bamboo bowl filled with them (Dum Dums are cheap) or have them sticking out of something.

There are a lot of fun ways to do Oz. Granted, I haven't watched it in eons, so I'm just going from memory. Have fun and good luck! Hopefully all your hard work will pay off. Now, you do realize you will have to post pictures of what you do decide to do on both booths!!!

This all sounds so cute.

It would totally stress me out, so glad you're doing it and not me.

So weird, I know I answered this thread yesterday!

I too said do a Yellow Brick Road on your table (cut out rectangles from yellow poster board or yellow construction paper)

You can make 2 dimentional Dorthy Shoes to advertise your sales, or ... if you are crafty ... you can make a couple of these & use them to display light weight products or as a business card holder!

Hay/straw on the table too!

I was also wondering if you could put dry ice in the trifle bowl or if it would crack? Anyone ever tried it???
