Peep through boards

Have you thought about asking the local art college? It's really just a sheet of 8x4 wood (which you can get from any DIY store) with holes cut in it, with the pictures painted on - I'd have thought someone there would have enjoyed that sort of project?

Find someone with a shed and a jigsaw cutting machine. Large piece of ply wood or similar. Draw design on, get them to cut it out and paint. Extra bits of wood to stand it up. Would also need to check you can get it in a car to/from venue.

If you had a design in mind, could use a projector to magnify design onto a wall, the trace around large piece of paper. This would give the template to cut the wood with. Would need to make sure edges of wood arent splintery.

No idea where you'd buy one from though, but could ask a cabinet makers or anyone that works with wood if they can cut a design out for you. Good luck.

Try here.

Hi Amy!

Can't remember if you said you were in Manchester?? If so then surely somewhere in Blackpool should make them?? If not then I would contact the local amateur dramatic groups, colleges to speak to the drama/set design people as it may be they have one or at least they will certainly have access to the right tools and machines to make you one...and then you can personalise it!
