Cheap Christmas Stage

Series : Christmas

We took the 4 sections of Lycra-spandex and gathered the top, then put heavy wooden boards, about 2-3 ft wide at the bases to make them into a long, triangle shape. then shined can lights with Green Gels in the middle and had red uplighting and downlighting to give it the surrounded red look.
I also bought huge bouncy balls from the dollar store and spray painted them silver and red to look like Christmas ornaments, and while the paint was wet covered them in glitter. (the glitter all flaked off so it was totally useless but seemed like a good idea at the time. Also - the Spray paint never really dried because I bought a cheap spray paint - lesson learned - always buy the more expensive spray paint - it is worth the extra $3-$4 to not make a total mess of everything and not have to re-paint it every time you use it.)

We hung all of that and decided the center of the stage looked too heavy so I found 2 yard Christmas trees and placed them at the ends of the stage and they balanced the whole look.

This whole stage cost about $75. Boom.
