RE: Christmas Float Ideas
I work for a non-profit organization and we have limited funds so, we decided to try setting 4 chairs in the back of a pick-up or a trailer hitched to the back of the truck. Use the 4 chairs to seat able bodies, (People) Ha!
Wrap large square boxes (Not Rectangle because of the room involved) with Christmas wrapping paper. Cut a hole at the top for the head to fit through and one hole on each side for the arms. Have the person sit down in the chair then place the wrapped box over them. Place a BIG BOW on their head. Our them is " This Christmas give the gift of yourself." Since we take care of the Elderly and Disabled, we felt this theme was fitting, to volunteer your time to help someone. Of course, decorate the vehicle or trailer with plenty of garland etc.
Our banners were to cost 300.00 however, our budget would not cover something that expensive. So, I decided to make the banners myself. All you do is purchase a few of the poster type boards, the plastic, thick kind as big as you would like. Then, have plenty of ink in your printer. Hopefully you have a computer. Go to Microsoft Works etc, where you can type letters or documents.
At the top of the application, where it has the size of the letters (Font), delete the number that is in the filed then type in 400, this will give you 4" letters all ready to place on your poster or banner. size them up, space them out and tape them down where you want them. Then cover with Clear Drawer liner to protect them. Works great and saves a ton of money and looks very professional! Of course choose the color you want the letters to be and print each letter one at a time. Have fun! May contact me at Teritajmp AT comcast.net

My girl scout troop is doing a float with the theme of Hark The Harold Angels Sing. Any ideas on how to decorate the float? We are using a 6 x 10 trailor and pulling it behind a truck. I know that the girls are going to dress up as angels but that is all I have come up with. Please help!

For the Christmas in toyland float. How about dressing people as toys. This would be especially easy for kids. They have Halloween costumes, where some were dressed as Thomas the Train, Barbies, etc.

Candy? Suckers, take dowel rods, place a round Styrofoam piece on it, and cover it with colored saran wrap.
Tootsie rolls,We also took toilet paper rollers, painted them brown, wrote on them with orange painer markers, and then glued white paper to ends and bunched up ends, and tied them.
Peppermint candy, take round disks of Styrofoam and paint red swirls on them.

Hello All I just joined today. I own my own dog grooming shop and we are doing a christmas float "doggie theme" with a stuffed animal christmas tree, bubble machine, dog house and doggie stockings. My question is how do you make a banner? My shop is called The Grooming Shoppe.
Me and my 2 assistants will be holding our own dogs. Dressed up Holiday style and someone will be passing out candy. I kind of like the marshmallow treat idea. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks. Sunday

RE: Christmas Float Ideas
For the Dental theme float, you could put a tree in the middle of the float and put toothpaste boxes, toothbrushes, dental floss, floss picks, and even coupons for cleanings or etc. You could even donate these items to one of the shelters there in your town afterward. We used this theme before and it was really cute. Just use anything to do with dental and hang them on the tree. We used candy lips, bubba teeth, and any thing smiley, lots of smiles. It'll look great. Good luck.

For "Being Green" You might want to consider using the famous Dr. Suess's The Grinch. You might be able to play with a cute headliner too...like don't let the Grinch be the only Green you see this Christmas.

I always wanted to do a float that was a Snow Theme: ice skating, sledding, etc & throw wiffle balls to the crowd as 'snow balls'. I've looked for donations however for the wiffle balls & have no success in getting anyone to donate...not even the wiffle ball company. Does anybody have any other ideas of something 'soft' that could be given to the spectators as snowballs?

RE: Christmas Float Ideas
for the person who wanted to know HOW TO MAKE BIG WRAPPED CANDIES you use either styrafoam or regular foam. just cut them into the size you want and wrap with either the colored saraon wrap or clear see through colored gift wrap paper twist the ends and tape around the ends to hold. you can cut the foams with sissors or a seraded knife or electric knife as well.
