Bringing Some Autumn design to Your décor with Spare Stage Lighting Supplies
The leaves are changing color, it’s getting cooler and the sun is even setting earlier, fall is officially here and we are very excited. It’s the time of year to gather with friends and family and share in the bounty of the summer season. With all the left over bits and pieces of theatrical lighting gel, remnants of tie line, and quietly stock piled gaffer’s tape, we have the makings of some fine fall decorations.

For our celebration table, we might cut fall colors of lighting gel into leaf shapes and suspend them from the dining room ceiling. The tutorial mentions real leaves, but chances are you’re busy heading from one holiday show rehearsal to another and have run out of time to go leaf collecting. It’s a great way to get a centerpiece without losing valuable table real estate. JLAR clear to the core tape can help affix the shapes to the string or monofilament of choice.
Getting the kids involved with making designs for the windows is always fun. It can be an all ages activity if you have some shapes precut for the children to arrange, it can be even easier. Here are some easy no tape directions to affixing lighting gel to windows. Best part is it’s easily removable when the celebrations are over. No muss, no fuss.
Rosco Stock Steel Gobo #78749 – Thanksgiving Cornucopia
To kick things up a notch, and have the best bash on the block, we highly recommend a gobo light and gobos. As night falls earlier and earlier each night, a holiday themed gobo lighting up the side of your house or the living room ceiling can help bring some fantastic atmosphere to your party. If you’re having doubts, as many gobo lights are rather large, take a peek at the Darklight Gantom IQ, it’s a terrifically tiny gobo projector that packs a big punch. Add some sparkle to your wall with a starry sky or play up the holidays with leaves or a turkey. This gobo lighting fixture is so small, finding a good spot for it should be pretty easy.
We hope you have a marvelous holiday and don’t forget to share your decorating pictures with us. Find us on facebook, twitter, pinterest, and even instagram.
