Marylynn Chee from Faith Community Church in Perth, Australia brings us this woodsy stage design look. (Originally posted October 2014)
They wanted to have a woodsy look for Father’s Day this year (celebrated on Sep 7th in Australia). So they came up with a low cost painted wood panel background that could be easily installed in their rented space.
They bought cheap thin (3mm) plywood ($16.95ea) from the hardware store and then masked out a simple geometric pattern, using black paint to fill in the gaps. They also created a simple hipster-like shield for the central panel using a projection and Sharpie markers. Lastly, they stained the wood with a tea and coffee solution and left them outside in the sun for a weathered look.
Recipe: black tea, instant coffee, white vinegar and fine steel wool.
They installed it on existing theater flats and then just lit them up using their auditorium lights.
Awesome!!!!!
So simple and stunning! Well done!
