Check out this cool Easter Sunday stage design using DIY cross frames. The three crosses were made from simple 2×4’s with translucent plastic on the backs. (Cross dimensions are 5’x8′ (x2) and 5’x12′.) They used 2 intelligent light fixtures on the ground behind the frames to provide back lighting. With this technique you could use some cool rotating gobos and change the colors whenever you like. (I of course would go with LED par cans because I’m obsessed with said technology.)
The coolest thing about this design is that all of the materials for this design cost less than $200!
Now go make your own magical Easter set piece!

Pro Tips for Easter Windows 98
Plan Early: Start gathering materials and planning your Easter decor at least 4-6 weeks before Easter Sunday. This gives you time to troubleshoot any issues and allows volunteers to prepare.
Test Your Lighting: If your design relies on special lighting effects, test everything at least a week before the service. Lighting can dramatically change the look of your design.
Document Your Setup: Take photos and notes during assembly. This creates a valuable reference for future years and helps train new volunteers.
Safety First: Ensure all structures are stable and secure. Use proper hardware for hanging elements and keep walkways clear of cords and equipment.
wow..cool..just what im searching for easter presentations..thanks…:-bd
Hey, can you share the link to find the translucent plastic. We are trying and cannot find it anywhere!
Hope to hear from you, thanks a bunch! The idea is great and economic!
I'd check into Coroplast…or corrugated plastic. You can get that from your local sign company. Go with Natural color.
Loved this design right when I saw it. I borrowed the idea for our 2011 Easter service. I submitted a photo taken a few weeks after Easter, but you'll get the idea. Thank you, AJ, your idea was inspirational.
