How to Mini-Crankie Tips & Tricks
Here are a few tips to help make your Mini-Crankie performances even more spectacular.
Light up your screen using a small LED flashlight in a paper tube. Cut a tab and fold under, to tilt the light up.
Use colors from a lighting supply color gel sample swatch book. (sometimes free if you pick it up at the store; also check with your local theater group for scraps.)
Create shadow puppets and hot glue them to sticks. (shish-kebob skewers or straws work)
Put a piece of tape over the ends of your paper strips. This will protect the paper when you remove it from the crankie rollers.
Add a fancy design to the front of the Mini-Crankie. Can be classical, formal, or simply colorful. This can be a cut-out picture or a 3D construction.
Use rubber stamps (or create your own designs) to make patterns and backgrounds.
