The "limbo" is believed to have originated as part of a ritual performed during wakes in Trinidad around the mid to late 19th century. Over the years, the limbo has made its way into the global consciousness as a favorite party game that requires minimal equipment and setup. The most important piece of equipment is by far the pole. In fact, you can do the limbo with just a pole and a few friends. Light wooden dowels make the perfect material to build a limbo pole with minimum effort.
Instructions
1. Wrap masking tape around one end of the wooden dowel.
2. Wrap the masking tape around the body of the wooden dowel in a "candy cane" pattern that leaves gaps between the various sections of tape. Continue to wrap until you reach the opposite end.
3. Lay the newspaper on a large flat surface such as the driveway or patio.
4. Spray the wooden dowel with the spray paint of your choice. Since most dowels are light colors, red works especially well for a candy-like effect.
5. Allow the dowel to dry and remove the masking tape.
