Oklahoma Props - Hay bales and straw babies
Mon, 7 Feb 2011, 09:45 pmWe are doing a production of Oklahoma! and I need to make or buy very cheaply a couple of straw dolls - any ideas??
Also, with some cast member allergic to hay and straw, I'm looking for ideas on how to create fake hay bales.
Any advice would be much appreciated - Thanks in advance
The show is set before hay bales were developed
Thu, 24 Feb 2011, 08:56 amThe Show is set in or about 1907 at the advent of it's Statehood, some 30 odd years before the first hay baling machines started to appear. Prior to that the hay was loose stacked in barns for drying out.
So why use hay bales on the set?
From a craft shop I believe you can buy plastic straw to make the straw dollies they may even sell them made up.
