You all may have heard me mention on UStream that Bob was working on a theater for the girls. Well, here it is!
He started with the grill box that we just bought. He cut out a little window for the stage, added a corrugated board (that came in the box) to reinforce the top and bottom of stage window, cut a door and some crazy awesome scroll work out of the flap. Don't ask me how, but I believe power tools were involved...
We both grabbed a paintbrush and some craft paint and went to town (that may be a southern expression).
This is where I become useful. I grabbed a jar of gel medium and a pack of Graphic 45 Curtain Call paper and started covering the box in paper.
To make it totally over the top, he added Stick 'em lights to the corrugated board at the top of the window. We added curtains and trim...
A perfect theater worthy of 2 little princesses!
Of course, the first show had to feature Barbie!
