Thought about that, but I've got a) no place to do the drilling (small apartment, no real porchspace) and b) nothing to sew them on to... I'd like it to be as freestanding as possble so I can lace it on and not have to sew a base under it.

HAH! Great name. When I made my first version of this (in a contest - one hour to make a costume from junk) I called my self Tech Girl with my sidekick The Penguin.
