Well, I did a lot of initial math trying to figure out the exact size of the triangles so I could figure out how to cut them, and it ended up being quite easy - I took an 8.5x11" sheet of cardboard and cut it into a triangle (measure halfway across one short side and then draw lines from the opposite corners to that spot). The bandanas weren't perfectly square so I knew nothing I did was going to be exact, and making the pattern 11" tall and 8.5" at the base was REALLY close. And so easy.
So then I just laid that template on the bandana and traced 4 triangles, with the "tip" of each one at the center of the bandana and the base of each one along one side of the bandana, making sure to line up the center of the pattern with the center of the bandana. And then I just cut on the lines - I planned it out so that the spaces inbetween those four triangles would make triangles of the same size, so I just had to cut the corners of the bandana off of those pieces.
All of that was very inexact - the flags are fairly messily cut, but they're close enough and from a distance you really can't tell. And I just left the edges raw - I figure it'll be okay if they fray a bit. And it was so cheap and easy to make that if it doesn't survive this Roo I'm okay with that, I'll make another one for next year.
I love the flag idea.. I'm already on my trip, but if I was home I would totally steal the idea.. Heck, I might steal it anyway if I see some bandanas while out... I have cord and scissors and could eyeball the triangle... No staples, but if I see a dollar tree I'm golden. I almost bought some paper lanterns at the dollar tree the other day to hang and make it more festive. If I see more I may be all about the decorations now.
The flags were GREAT at our tent Pepper! Thank you for your decorating contribution and you know what, I think the ONLY pics we have of camp are the group shots, and a couple pics of nick sleeping.... dang it.
It was fantastic camping with you and we only matched ONE day!

I kept meaning to take a picture of our campsite, but I never got around to it because I couldn't figure out how to do it. I'd be looking around like...I'd have to go out there to get the flags...I'd have to go out the other side to get the flagpole...I'd have to face two directions at once to get the sun blockers...AUGH. Basically our campsite contained too much awesome to be properly photographed. ;D
I bought an adorable (and moderately priced) toe ring from one of the two ring vendors that were doing fittings in Centeroo....the two ladies working there were super friendly and helpful. I'd love to order from them for my other foot but of course I lost the card they gave me. (It was maroon & shaped like a foot...)
This was the vendor at the What stage, with the personalized ring fittings and the little couch in the back. Anyone have their info?
The spray glitter I got from Sephora was pretty awesome... except I'm pretty sure I accidentally glitter-fied a dude next to me. Lesson learned: spray AWAY from people and when there is no wind.

I'd like spray glitter next year, I was surprisingly (to me) jealous of the ladies who had some!!
Dresses worked out awesome for me. Tube dresses especially, I could change/baby wipe shower in plain sight in my tube dresses!
I also need to find a better pair of shoes (something shock-absorbing...my lower back really took the hit from wearing Toms and sandals), and some kind of knee high socks/leg coverings that aren't hideous. I'm thinking I might cut off some cool tights and make leg covers out of them, somehow. Maybe with attached thigh garters of some sort. I have a year to invent something cute for the bonnarash-ridden!!

I have a pair of Fit-Flops that were my best bet all weekend. There's so much cushioning on it that I didn't feel the rocks at all when I wore them! My friend wore her Toms all weekend and really hurt her foot during day two.

Did anyone else cave and buy one of those tank top/dress lookin' things? I thought I had packed wisely until mid-day Saturday and realized the synthetic fabric of my dress was absolutely unbearable. I spotted a girl wearing the tank dress and hunted down the shop. Cotton and oh so niice.
Definitely have at least two outfits a day! It was so nice to change out of my dirty sweaty clothes once the sun went down.
When the sun actually set it was quite cool! Here the humidity sticks well into the night. It was nice to have a pair of shorts and a t-shirt for evening and light dresses during the day!
I'm pretty sure my entire wardrobe was from Forever 21.
We have finally decided to stop having children so I started going to the gym while my daughter is at swim practice. I can't wait to start buying new clothes.
Although I think I have finally become old (not really) because I no longer like a lot of the clothes that come out now. I like the style of clothes that I wore before I started having kids. I'll take regular flare jeans over those silly looking skinny things any day.

day tripper, totally not too early! i have been re-reading this entire thread and looking for 'roo dresses. summer stuff is plentiful at second hand shops! figure people are going through their summer stuff and getting rid of anything they don't need before it's packed away for winter. bargains!!
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go on an overnight drunk, and in 10 days I'm going to set out to find the shark that ate my friend and destroy it. Anyone who wants to tag along is more than welcome.

Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.

exactly. it's my favorite time to look at websites that are typically way too expensive (like urban outfitters) for good deals. like right now... they have quite a few dresses for $9.99. such a steal.

this isn't really fashion, but i had to show off my wreaths i made today and i thought you guys would appreciate them. been seeing this type of wreath all over etsy etc. i essentially bought enough stuff to make 5 wreaths for the cost of what 1 is on etsy. not bad at all.
