Back to StageProps Mardi Gras Ball Made by Kristi Dartez Lake Charles, LA Kristi.Dartez@triadhospitals.com These are pictures of the many decorations and props I made for our Mardi Gras ball this year. I purchased large sheets of EPS foam from Lowe's (The sheets of syrofoam used to insulate houses.) the sheets are 8'Hx4'W. I used an overhead projector to blow up the pictures of vaious Egyptian pictures, and traced the design onto the foam sheets. I then used the Hot Knife to cut our the figures. To give some dimension to some of the figures, I layered the foam. Sorry the pictures are not that great. It does not show very well how large some of the foam decorations are. Just to give you an ide, the ceiling in the room is 20' high. Each of the Egyptian figures are about 6' to 8' tall. the pyramid is 8' tall, and the winged scarab above the pyramid is about 5' long. I received many, many compliments on the decorations. People could not believe that it was foam. I would like to thank you so much for all your help and assistance. .
