Theatre set- Set dressing



I made the bed by cutting the foamboards to scale (measurements 2500mm by 2000) and gluing two together to make the bed seem thicker. I then used kitchen tissue to make my pillows I cut and folded it into shape before cutting and glueing down blue felt for the bed covers. I used four small pebbles to create the frame for the bed.



I used an empty candle case to create the shape of my lamp. I cut ridges in some orange felt to create a shabby look. I then glued the felt around the metal candle case which made my lamp shade complete. I used a stone for the base and frame of the lamp before gluing it all together. I then used one larger stone to make a bed side cabinet.


The next thing I made was the Television. I used two small stones for the base and a larger stone to create the actual TV. I coloured some sugar paper in blue and cut rounded edges and glued to the stone, this is my screen. I then cut three circles in sugar paper to create buttons and I glued these to the TV. I made the antennas for the TV using wooden tooth picks. I painted them grey and glued them to the top of the stone.


The last thing I made for my set was the curtains. I made the curtains by cutting white felt in zigzags to create a shabby look similar to my lamp. I then used a very small wooden stick as a curtain rail to glue the curtain to. I used blu-tak to hold my curtains to the wall. The reason I chose blu-tak rather than glue is because when I made the blu-tak Into balls, they looked like rocks and if think it matched my set well.
