If you have been following me you know I have been working on several projects.
  • New back drop 36 x 60 for events
  • Refurbish used backdrop purchased on FB Marketplace
  • Building lighted Marquee letters
Today is our grand daughter's third birthday. It is based on the Bluey theme. If you have young ones around, you know who Bluey is. :)
The only picture I got of the kids was our niece. And she got a "floppy" of her very own to take home as a thank you gift. They all did.
To summarize, I finished the 36x60 folding backdrop and it worked well. A spandex cover from Amazon fits it perfectly. Yeah, I planned it that way.
The used backdrop I bought off FB Marketplace is also finished. I spent a lot of time working on it to get it presentable. Lots of sanding, cut off 1/2 inch off the bottom. Recut the arch and ripped a new side that was wonky. Built 4 shelves with rounded corners and applied iron on edge banding to make them look nice. My wife bought a pink cover for the backdrop and it fit nicely. Then she used a table cover to cover the shelves so they would also be pink. We attached the shelves by poking holes in the cover and attaching knobs and fender washers to the rear. The rabbits fit nicely and were a big hit.
Finally, we brought the lighted Marquee number 3. My daughter made a couple of hand-painted banners and the party was on. I have to admit, I am really pleased with the way everything turned out.
