Antology Set
We recently completed a series called Antology. It was all about lessons we can learn from ants. (More importantly, lessons we can learn from God.) The set was to have a disney feel with oversized images. We wanted people to feel as small as ants when they looked at the stage.
After hours of searching, our communications team came up with some pictures and photos that we used. We printed the images on self adhesive paper and put them onto large pieces of styrofoam. The styrofoam need to have a large enough thickness, so it was self standing. We had pieces ranging from 4" x 6" all the way up to some that were 6" x 12". We brought the set out wide instead of high. The large blades of grass banners covered the whole back of the stage and helped create that "size of an ant" feeling.
I will give you one helpful hint. When adhering these large stickers onto the styrofoam, it would help to have two people. It is definately not a one person job. Also, the sticky stuff likes to stick to itself, but not to the styrofoam. It helps if you wrap the sticker like a gift wrap on the back, so that it will stay on and not pull up on the sides.
I hope you enjoy this set. It was a lot of fun and we had numerous offers to purchase the pieces from people that saw them. They just made you smile. Don't ever be afraid to add some whimsy to your sets from time to time. It keeps people from being bored, and on their toes.
