Key points:
- Cheap. Cheap cheap.
- Tent is 10 x 10ft
- It’s for a Renaissance Faire
I’m doing the market at my first ever Ren Faire where we’re strongly encouraged to do up our tents to fit the theme. I’m basically a swamp witch, so I’m leaning into the whole natural/alchemy vibe.
I already have a tent and fold-up tables, I just need to figure out how to cover the whole thing cheaply and easily enough it doesn’t take a lot of time from making stuff to sell.
I have about two dozen skeins of yarn I’ve dyed various greens, enough different green scrap fabrics to cover the whole top, if sewn together, and off-white tableclothes.
Oh, and everything needs to fit into a car.
Does anyone have any idea for how to swamp-witch it up without spending a lot of time or money? I live in a small, rural town, so local supplies are limited to basics.


Love this idea. I was going to buy a bunch of cheesecloth and dye it green anyway.
