Also, Wolfbeard I love the skeleton luau!

I've never used the actual plastic scene setters, but a couple years we have hung the patterned fabric from shindigz. We use spray bottles filled with watered down laundry starch to basically wallpaper the fabric onto the walls. It stays for as long as you want it to, comes down easily, and all you have to do is wipe down the walls afterward. I'm not sure if something similar would work with plastic... We're not doing it this year because it is a little time-consuming and with a 16 month old boy in the house I have zero time. It looks fantastic, though, and I know our party guests will miss it. There are a few pictures in this album including one of the hubs actually hanging the fabric: http://www.halloweenforum.com/member...bums-2008.html

Elise, your house looks awesome!! What a neat idea!! Totally transformed that room!! Seems like a very (somewhat) easy idea that you don't need that many decorations added to it!! Sooo cool!!

Thanks! It is pretty easy (and fairly inexpensive) - the hardest thing was the black on the ceiling because of the texture. We had to actually staple that up. It's one of the reasons I'm not doing it this year - new house, too much ceiling. lol

I was loooking for something like that on shindigz and couldn't find anything!

This was the stuff I bought, though it wasn't quite so much $$ back in 2008 (yikes!): http://www.shindigz.com/party/Flagst...d-Gossamer.cfm

We've used duct tape both inside or outside to hold it to walls. It held up pretty well considering MN's unpredictable weather.
Stapling it up using home improvement building stapler works well too.

Some strategically placed thumb tacs in addition to some pretty strong clear tape seems to be doing the trick!
