Mural and Party Scene Setters

Elaborate parties and special occasions deserve the added time and effort to create special mural and party scene setters. For a small investment in terms of paint, brushes, plywood and crown molding a very dramatic affect can be accomplished. A labor intensive effort - yes but an impossible task: no. An ordinary person with basic hand tools and minimal skills can create a beautiful backdrop which will turn an otherwise bleak basement or garage into anything the imagination can conjure.

This does call for some small amount of planning and preparation but the results will be worth the effort. First things first: decide on a party theme. This should be a fairly involved theme. Instead of just choosing a favorite cartoon character choose a favorite cartoon featuring a favorite cartoon and so on. This will allow for more elaborate mural and party scene setters. Then find lots of reference photos. These will need to be scanned or downloaded and printed. Next choose a color scheme that can be easily reflected in paper party goods and other decorations to draw the overall party dcor together.

Next decide on the scale of the objects to be created. Then draw a grid on the reference photo or photos. Draw a corresponding grid on the pre-constructed mural and party scene setters which reflect the desired scale. One fourth inch to one inch for instance or one inch to one foot for a larger piece. Then use some method of transferring each square on the reference print to the corresponding grid on the larger work. Many with artistic leanings can sketch these freehand others may want to use an enlarging projector. Some printers can enlarge the reference picture in segments that can be traced using carbon paper.

Then just paint. Voila! The basement is Camelot!
