Ways to Use Plastic Tablecloths
Hi, I posted a tyvek suggestion, and I am also the plastic tablecloth nut. I have cut and cool-melt glued plastic tablecloths together. The plastic is a beautiful way to create scenery backdrops using the colored plastic as the colors in your scene. It is cut as sky, land, water, etc. and then reglued together. I have added textural things such as cotton, netting, sand, glitter, etc. to add effect at times.
They store in a banker box and have no creases like paper gets, go up in a snap with banker clips or ticky tack.
The tyvek drops I roll and store upright.
As for costumes...a hot glue guns work wonders in this area. They are kind of like duct tape-the solution to many joining challenges. I sew very little anymore for church costumes and the glue guns work great for animal costume construction or some of those other oddball ideas that crop up.
