"bonjour" backdrop design

design

for the first time i decided to cut an oval into a plywood backdrop.  it was a huge hit!  the teenagers loved peeking throught the hole. 

it also made it easier for me to keep everything in frame. 

materials:
4x8' piece of 1/4" plywood
chalkboard paint
chalk pen
overhead projector (make your type perfect)
tool to cut hole ( not sure cause i asked my super helpful husband Garth to do it )

the design was very simple.  i like that.  the stars were the teenages and props!  boy... did they POP!
thank you HRMS!  congrats
