Prince Cape and Sash

For the cape, I used a table cloth I had sized for a small table. It measured 30"x30". Keep in mind that my Prince, Joshua, is a five-year old. The sash is a scrap from the same material as his Royal Money Bag Prop . It was an odd shaped scrap so I made it as wide as I could and cut it into a long skinny rectangle that fit diagonally from shoulder to waist. If this was a costume that he'd wear over and over again I would attach the sash with Velcro dots. However, my little guy won't be wearing this shirt much longer, so I may do that with a bigger size shirt. I loosely attached it with thread and a needle at the top and tape at the bottom for the photo. Materials needed for the cape are a tablecloth for a side table or 32"x32" square of fabric, ribbon long enough to go around the parameter of the fabric, needle and thread, white dress shirt, and 2 identical jewel pendants. If you are making your own give yourself enough extra material to have a seam allo...

Why We Started Making Props- Marie-Anne's Version

Dessert props for Order Up Two years ago, a friend invited us to join her at the local community college's career day. Sabrina, who was ten at the time, was fascinated with the drama department's booth of student made props. She was totally engrossed! The lady manning the booth told us that there were tutorials online. I decided then and there to make that Sabrina's art class. I spent hours searching the internet for simple props we could make from home, and I came up with some ideas to try along the way. Ice Cream Sandwich Prop A few months later Sabrina gave a prop she made, an ice cream sandwich, to the owner of Seedling Theatre as a thank you for being her teacher. Later, some of Sabrina's props were included in the county fair scene of Charlotte's Web . After that Sabrina donated props for almost every play she performed in. Willy Wonka Candy Wagon Props During the Summer of 2020, I desperately needed something to do during lockdown. So I volunteered Sa...

National Tell a Fairy Tale Day- The Frog Prince

February 26 is National Tell a Fairy Tale Day! Sabrina chose the Frog Prince as the story that we would make costumes for. Some of the props are very simple, and didn't get a blog post of their own. I'll explain them here. The King and Princess both have rings that are simply jewel buttons on fancy ribbon. The King also has the same type of jewel as a necklace on a rope. The Princess has a golden ball that is a spray painted kid's ball. We did not find out about this fun holiday in time to plan everything ahead of time. So, some of the posts will come after this one. I will add the link as they are published. King - needs a dress shirt and dress pants. The balls on the scepter are the same color as the Princess' ball. They also have the same ring and the same color scheme. Alex, our model, asked for multiple money bags so he can be King Money Bags.
