Let’s continue exploring antique paper theaters
popular in Queen Victoria’s Era.

Here is a nice diagram showing you how the layers work,
from a top view.

Remember, you want your scenery backgrounds
removable so they can be changed for different ones
to match the play.
Slots are your friend for that need!

The more slots for backdrops you have,
the greater depth and realism you will have.
You also will have more room for extra actors,
furniture, props, etc.

Hmmm...
Don’t want to go overboard with the theme,
but I sure do like paper dollhouses,
Paper dolls and paper ephemera.
This fits me perfectly!
Here are just a few more -
I found the above illustrations from Pinterest:

I hope you try out this vintage play time fun.
I would love to see your finished theaters!
You can leave a comment/photo for me,
the directions are at the bottom of this blog.
Nothing gets posted until I say ok,
so no need to worry if you just want me to see.

Truth - usually discovered before coffee or 10am,
whichever comes last -
Putting pants on can be difficult
when your brain is not yet awake.
It’s best to sit down when attempting.
When ignoring this truth,
the loud thuds and groans only irritate The Dog.
And you still won’t have your pants on.
