ALICE IN WONDERLAND JR PROPS // Budget friendly props, quick and easy to make!

It's great when a show has a big budget, but that's often not that's not the case in non professional theatre. All hope is not lost however! There are many budget friendly ways to make props and I am going to show you a few of them here today. We're going to make fake chocolate chip cookies, a fake carrot, a fake pineapple, do ornamentation on a book and make our paint brushes and paint cans so we can paint the roses red!

Love to see budget friendly props! I bought a size 5XL orange golf shirt for $1.00 at the Dollar Tree and used it to make my carrots. No sew, hot glue instead, stuffed them with stuffing I had around my craft trunk and put the greens on top with some old leaves I had laying around. I made a bunch of 4 and have enough of the shirt left to make a pumpkin or several more carrots! The orange was a bit "bright" so I dry brushed them with brown paint to make them more realistic. They look great on stage. I made a head of lettuce out of coffee filters! I am always on the lookout for how to do props for CHEAP as my small theater never has a big budget. I am going to do red wine and try to use gelatin so that the glasses won't get ruined as we only have a few in the Prop Room and I hate to paint them to be red wine forever. They are on stage for 2 minutes then I can pop them in the refrigerator until the next night. I just love watching you create. Thanks! :)

Thanks! That’s so encouraging and great to hear! I love the T-shirt idea how clever😯! I love the gelatine version, it works well, I just recommend doing a test to check your ratio is right because I once had it fall out on stage onto an actor lap because my ratio of gelatine to water was off! It didn’t leave a mess and it wasn’t obvious BUT just something to be mindful of.
