A Tiny Paper Theatre
Filed under Art Projects, Collage Sheets, Giveaways, Kristin Batsel, Miniatures, Newsletters, Sale
This little project by Design Team Member Kristin Batsel started with the new Half Scale Punch & Judy Theatre: an even smaller version of the original Punch & Judy Theatre (the original one is shown at right, this new one is just 4″ tall). It includes the 2 facades and the set of doors that are sold separately with the larger theatre!

From Kristin’s post:
I’m not sure I can tell you how much fun I had making this new tiny paper theater I got from Alpha Stamps last week. I was obsessed! If there’s one thing I love, it’s working tiny. Plus, all the bright colors on the (new) accompanying collage sheet just stole my circus-loving heart.
Wooden spindles and finials (colored with a gold Sharpie) add dimension. The top curtains and columns are raised as well. To achieve this, I used two copies of the same collage sheet, and layered some parts using foam glue dots.
Kristin’s blog post also includes lots of photos with callouts, and tips about how she made her little theatre. I picked out one in the photo below (step-by-step showing how she made little stands for the characters using Mini Pin Stands and round bases punched out of Wood Flooring Scrapbook Paper, to match the same paper used as the floorboards).
Nice job, Kristin!!
