Of course I am ready to dive right in and start decorating but I don't know where to find the supplies. I was hoping that the LA TC community could help. I also could use some ideas on how to put things together since I also left my super handy step-dad in Oregon, too. For my first project I would like to camouflage out tiny patio's fence with bamboo poles. What are some good places to find a fair price on bamboo poles? I think that we will need 5 or 6 foot lengths. Also wondered if anyone had suggestions on how to cut/shorten the bamboo (if we need to) and how to attach it the the fence. It will be the inside of the fence with the horizontal pieces of fence facing inwards. The other part of the project is I would like to have some large plastic balls in nets that light up hanging from the ceiling of the patio. I could really use some ideas on how to create those. Also if anyone has suggestions on where to get the balls and nets in the Los Angeles are or online I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance! Gem
