How in the heck do I hide an ugly coke vending machine without paying a wad of cash for material? The venue was cheap because my dad is a member, the only problem is the ugly coke machine and then there are shelves of flags from people who have served in the community (which I don't have a problem with, my dad's flag is up there too) but under those flags are stacks of ugly chairs. We were thinking about making a certain to cover up the chairs if we can't use them all, and then placing mason jars with candles between the flags. In a way, I want to make it a focal point, but I nice looking one. Then, my other big issue is the ceiling. I"m using paper laterns and pom-poms but I can't decided if I should use tulle and lights, streamers, or just lights. I don't want to spend a crazy amount on decorating.
