Take a clothes rack, decorate the telescoping poles with red and yellow electrical tape. Then design (in Excel), print and laminate some promotional posters and affix them to the top rung with more electrical tape. Stabilize the whole thing with four full PET bottles of water secured with duct tape to the base.
