The Party Decorations--I got vinyl fabric at Walmart for $1 a yard and used a letter cutting machine at school (I'm a teacher) on contact paper. The contact paper letters peeled off and I placed on the black, vinyl sign. (I. E. Collin's Buccaneer Bash, Loot Goes 'Ere, Enter at Yer Own Risk, etc.) I superglued 2 dowel rods at each end of the signs and placed all over the yard (just hammered the dowel rods into the ground). I also got on the internet and printed pirate pictures and made them into overhead transparencies and traced onto the signs and used fabric paint to color them in.
