Lauren Shorter from Mt. Airy Baptist Church in Easley, South Carolina brings us these staggered elements.

The hanging pieces were created using gutter guard (you can find them at a hardware store for only a couple bucks/piece).

They laid them out and came up with a random staggered pattern and connected them all with fishing line. Then they suspended each one from the ceiling.

The light towers in the corners were used from a previous stage design – made from Coroplast and wood.

The whole stage cost about $100.

    What kind of lights are you using, inside the towers and to light the slats?

    What are the dimensions of the gutter guards? Most of the ones that I’m seeing online are only 6″ wide by 36″ long.

      Ours are 4″ wide and 36″ long. We got them from Lowes.
