Visit
your local public library and check out different books on
Zorro. These look great as part of table centerpieces or as
general decorations placed throughout your party area. They
can either be laying flat or they can also be propped up in
a half open fashion (remember to visit both the children's
AND adult's section of the library.)
Hang
fabric for simple decoration. Near larger metropolitan areas
one can always find some type of 'garment district' or wholesaler
shops for fabric. These are great for finding a high variety
of prints for prices that are a steal - otherwise try the
clearance tables at your local Wal-Mart, Hobby Lobby or Joann's
Fabrics. Have fun searching for appropriate prints to hang
like pinched tapestries on the walls. This simple trick does
wonders for decoration (especially when the decoration supply
is pretty thin.)
Get
your hand on as many different TV sets that you can and place
them around your party/facility/event. On each of the sets,
play the movie Zorro (either of the movies in the series).
Find multiple copies of the movie from friends, co-workers
and especially the library. Although, you could have a different
movie played on each set, don't shy away from having multiple
sets with the same movie playing…having them all set
to different places in the movie continually. Remember, this
is for 'decoration', unless of course you'd LIKE your guests
to watch the movie as part of an activity. The really great
part about this is that you don't even need to have the volume
on (in fact, especially for adult parties, the guests will
probably more enjoy their conversations more than the movies…)!
Sombreros
looks great positioned around your party area. They make great
centerpieces or as decorations on walls. Party supply stores
often sell them (when they are in season) or they can be ordered
year-round online. Keep in mind that although you COULD get
regular sized sombreros (which can be pricey if you need a
lot), they do make them in all sizes for decorations (medium
sized for decorations and smaller sized for centerpieces.)
Decorate
with white Christmas lights. These look great for outdoor,
evening settings. Although colored lights would also work,
white ones seem to be ideal for a more 'desert' look. They
should be either draped like streamers or outline doorways
(hold back from putting in plants or trees or else you might
give off a Christmas feel…)
