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.

    Got anyone you can steal garden trimmings from? I feel like ground cover would work well. Assuming spring has come to your area already…

      Myself, yes. I live near a swamp so I can collect a fuck bunch of reeds and crap in no time. Unfortunately spring is not here yet, but reeds are forever.
