I'm looking for the cheapest way to make stands for tall balloon topiaries. If that ends up being long wood rods, then i can always spray paint them with glitter paint to make them sparkle.
If anyone happens to run across something easy if you could post the link, that would be great.
It doesn't have to be fancy, it just has to be sturdy enough, but thin, and cheap :D

PVC Pipe, come in different thickness, easy to cut, wicked cheap. You can spray paint it any color. Ask Lauren (southernqueenbride) she is making stands out of it too, there is a picture in her journal. I worked with it in college. You can get it at any hardware store.

If There Is A Flooring Stoor Near By You Can Get The Cardboard Tubes The Carpet/vinyl Flooring Is Wrapped On. Then Spraypaint Them.

Thanks, I think that will do it. And I just got a $50 home depot card.

50 will carry you a long way with PVC pipe :) Alot of people use it for gardening when to sprout even bush/flowers - you can drill holes all down the pipe and put balloons the whole length of the pipe if you want.
