Once upon a time - and twice on Sundays.

An idea for your party/library

Even though we are in the Makers tribe we were randonly brainstorming and Amanda and I had an idea for MEGA poetry (similar to the magnetic poetry on fridges) but big, something that could be put on the wall and changed as people come in and out of the room. We thought it would fit with your group really well if you wanted to do it.

Key to this is figuring out the way to adhere these words to the room and have them be movable. The two ways I can conceive of that aren't going to hurt the hotel itself are masking tape or possibly fun-tack.

If we can get this idea working - it's a done deal.; ▶ Reply to This

Any ideas?; ▶ Reply to This
