Feeling troubled by the lack of funds for your design? Or have you ever wanted a beautiful back draft stage design that can be made at a very low cost? How about using only chalk and a fabric to make your desired designs creatively possible and for your event to be plausible?

Leave your worries behind! As low as 200 pesos or $4, you can already create a back draft design that is as good as what tarpaulins can offer. Over the last two years, our church has embraced an affordable back draft design for some events that we have, under the management of the young people. I don't know what to really call it, but it's like using chalk as an alternative to watercolor that looks like you've printed everything you'll draw.
Believe me, you'll never believe it's made out of chalk. Your creativity will make it look more unique and awesome. Rather than printing a tarpaulin, you can make it on your own. The only difference is that tarpaulin, especially the larger sizes, costs a lot compared to using chalk. However, drawing it on your own will really exhaust you, especially if you'll do it alone. You have to have more assistants with you in shading the colors.

Faaamm. Stolen yarn. This is what it looks like when you'll take a picture closely.

Since it's a back draft, you'll need a fabric with a size depending on how wide and large you'll have to cover. It is used as your paper where you can draw your creative designs. You can also choose what color you'll utilize, but I recommend black the most because it will highlight the colors of the chalk since once they dry, they'll become light.

PROCESS
The process is only very simple. You only have to soak all the chalks in the water for about 10 to 15 minutes to make it stick to the fabric once they dry. It's not necessarily 10 to 15 minutes. As long as the chalks are wet like soaked enough which you can draw without little particles falling. Well, you can also draw the chalk right away, but the outcome will ruin the design you opted for. There is a great difference between applying the chalk right away and soaking it before drawing on the fabric.
After waiting for it to get soaked, you can now draw your design. Seeing how pale it is once you started drawing, you'll start getting doubts if it does really work. Well, what they say about trusting the process is true. Just trust the process! This is because once it dries, the true color of the chalks will prevail. Finally, after you've done all the drawing, you can clean some parts you've messed up by using a wet clothing as an eraser.
So what do you think about it?

What an amazing artwork. I never expected this to be used for decoration. I love this concept.
Thank you for sharing your expertise.
Wow! I never realized that chalk can be used in stage backgrounds. I so love this DIY idea. The backdraft was beautifully made.
I never thought so before too. It was our youth president who suggested it as they were doing it in the seminary sometimes as well.
