Lowly tar paper


Tar paper is now a classic decorating staple in my ward.
.
For this YW torch we projected and enlarged the image onto tar paper, traced and cut to make these giant torch cut outs that we tack up with black tacks to the burlap walls on either side of the stage for every major YW event.
.
At Christmas time the activities committee rolled out tar paper all around the perimeter of the gym and used chalk to outline an ancient Bethlehem style city scape. The possibilities are endless, and someone always seems to have a partial roll left over from re-roofing their garage or home.

Brilliant! We're reroofing soon and you can bet I'm hanging on to the leftovers now. Thanks.

I never would have thought of this -- very creative!

I love seeing how people do things. Very nice.

we use a lot of styrofoam insulation sheets around here. rigid enough to cut out and be *somewhat* freestanding, yet light enough to tote around.
