Paper Plates

Paper-Plates

Seth Switzer from Cornerstone Baptist Church in Middletown, NY brings us this creative use of paper plates.

They were looking for a quick, low budget design for their sermon series “Diluted”. To carry through the “bubbles” theme of the graphic, they decided to see what a paper plate would look like on the wall. Get this…the whole design was accomplished for about $7!

To light the set they used some LED pars to splash on them for some color.

Comments from their church…

  • Looks like a giant Connect 4 board
  • Would be great for target practice

    Very cool!! This made me think of doing something very similar on our back wall, but instead of having all the rows the same height have them vary. It would give it more of an audio/signal flow bar look. I wonder if I could find square or rectangular paper plates? Probably. Thanks for sharing.

      great ideas all around on this whole look, and could easily do the signal bar… you’re sparking some thoughts!

    how tall and wide is it? And how did you fasten it to the wall? I love it!

      It was roughly 10×8… we simply just used finishing nails to fasten the plates to the wall

    What material are these plates exactly? Styrofoam, plastic or paper?
