RE: Molding Cloth?

We have used (free) random scrap carpet pieces screwed with washers or air stapled to a wood subframe and painted to make rock-like pieces. Low-level, thin carpet without a sculpted pattern or high contrast color pattern I think works best. The kind of stuff used in commercial places. Check with carpet ...

Hi,  A way for double doors:  Use "Hollywood flat" construction.   Door panels-use 1"x3" sides.  Wall/frames-use 1"x4" sides. (This will create an insert look when the doors are hinged to the walls.) I will attach pictures of a similar construction with same sized sides.  Bob Sedoff ...

Hi, We used a seashell based design amulet that was illuminated by a small focusing led flashlight held by by an actor crouching downstage of the starcatcher.  Check Amazon I think you can get a pack of two them for less than $14.  We also found fingertip led lights in bulk for a great effect in one ...

Have you tried an internet search for "used pallet racking NC"? There many companies that sell used steel shelving. Used might not be as expensive as you fear. Good luck. ------------------------------ Bob Sedoff Board member Mn chapter EdTA Sedoff, Inc. Edina High School Edina MN --------- ...

We have used 8" diameter cardboard concrete construction forms ("Sonotube" is a brand name) cut in fourths for the cove part of the crown molding. We snapped chalk lines and used a hand held jig saw to cut the tube.  Make inside and outside corners as small units.  I know I haven't answered how ...

Hi. I've used a car or garden tractor battery with strings of LED lights, a 12V power inverter, and (optionally)an in-line dimmer switch. If you use Coroplast (the corrugated plastic used for lawn signs) as the material to hold the lights you can easily drill holes the neck size of the bulb for spacing. ...

Hi,    You can "anchor" the batton by using 2 guy lines from each end of the batton off to stage right and stage left.  We tied off to mid rail positions.  Add a pulley to the batton end and pull the swing up and off to the side with a clip-on line.   Have enough weight added to the clip so you won't ...

Hi, For the window break in "Noises Off" we used a piece of the cheaper plastic window "glass" that you can buy at the hardware store. It was scored and prebroken into about three pieces, held together with some clear tape. When the actor "broke" the glass he also threw a handful of sugar glass onto ...

For the amulet we had another cast member (crouched down or standing to the side with back to audience) shine a flashlight on her chest. We did the same for Lord Astor's amulet.   For the pineapple two ideas - carve a shape from blue construction insulation foam board. Use glue and sawdust for texture. ...

Hi Amy, First the disclaimer: everything here is based on a guess. I would try making one truss first before buying lots of supplies.

You can buy sand bags. Or check with your town maintenance department for a donation or local source. They aren't muslin but with an aging paint job and the "20-foot rule " they can look pretty good. I'd like some stuffing ideas. I think we used bean bag stuffing at about $12? For 4 cubic feet. It was ...
