Paul Snyder from Fairfax Community Church in Fairfax, VA brings us this craft paper stage design.
They started with their conical Christmas trees. They bought colored kraft paper and folded them into cones. The paper didn’t hold shape on its own so they started with corrugated kraft paper, then added colored paper on top. They added a cylinder between each cone to give the depth between layers.
They made the purple mountains out of painted plywood, and added clouds made from White Coroplast.
I write and speak about the creative process – especially for churches. Call me a resource for the church creative wanting to make their ministry better.
A few additional notes on our our setup. The tallest trees were about 6′ tall when finished. We used these three colors/rolls of green paper:

We placed LEDs on the floor between the mountains and trees to light the mountains.
Love it when I’m browsing on here and I see the work of people I know… looks awesome you guys, I want that set for VBS!
Hey Joy, we’ll be done with it in three weeks, just need to figure out how to get it to you without destroying it. Probably time for you to take a road trip back out here. :-)
Wow, thanks! Yeah, let me get my U-Haul rented…
