Giant Mardi Gras Decorations, Anyone?
Planning to turn your home or business into a static float? Mo’s has what you need!
Float decorations have 3 things in common: COLOR, DIMENSION, SPARKLE
FLOWERS are among the most common and diverse of all float decorations. They are also easy to modify for a simple or elaborate project. And you can make a big impact with just a few-especially if you size up!
Mo’s has these essential supplies: large sheets and rolls of colored paper, Montanta spray paint, half-gallons of acrylic, imitation gold leaf, glitter, spray varnish, foam primer, 72” wide canvas by the yard, spray varnish, polymer medium (coating will help outdoor decorations last longer!)
location specific:
Covington has a huge selection of solid color sheet stock 20x26 and 22x30 on sale for $.50 per sheet!!! Regular price $2.99-$3.50. We will make a deal for bulk purchases of 100 sheets or more.
New Orleans has the full range of Montana Gold and Montana Black spray paint. Discounts when purchasing 12 cans or more. (Other two stores have shorter ranges.)
helpful hint: try googling floats from krewes known for the most beautiful and artistic floats such as Proteus, Comus, and Rex. You will also find images of old float designs which can be very inspirational (& weird!)
Comus float design. Not sure what year??
A few of my favorite things accompanied by inspirational quotes.
Coming up are a few things and thoughts that you might find surprisingly delightful. Such as this picture of me with a wheelbarrow full of chicken s**t.
