          We initially experimented with some landscaper grade burlap
        
        
          we got for free, but found it was difficult to work with. Wrinkles
        
        
          prevented it from lying flat, and its looser weave allowed too
        
        
          much plaster to leak through. The fabric from Jo-Ann’s is flex-
        
        
          ible but has a tight weave.
        
        
          1. Form a grid of corrugated cardboard strips to support the
        
        
          plaster and burlap scenery shell. Staples hold the latticework
        
        
          together.
