How to Build Your Pop Diva Her Own Stage

Step 8 Final Thoughts

This stage is SOLID and HEAVY so be careful when lifting it. It took both my wife and I to get it up the stairs.

As I had stated earlier this is a stand alone stage or you can make it modular. If you built a lot of these stages you could push them together to make a larger one. It all depends on your needs and the size of the room.

There is one final touch I could add to the stage and that is to put a piece of trim around the edges. The reason I haven't is because I thought my daughter and her friends might trip on it. I am still debating whether or not to install it. It still looks good with out it though.

See the pic below to look at the edges.

I certainly hope that you have enjoyed this instructable. I am working on more theme items to go into her room. I already have the background idea for the wall be hind the stage. That will be another instructable though :)

Any suggestions or thoughts are welcome, as long as they are respectable and constructive.

Thanks for reading this instructable

also...because of the weight (you're right, its HEAVY to move) i added some casters on the back edge that i roll it on when i stand it up to move it

Great idea. I did the same for me...for karaoke singing with my brother. I added tube lighting around the floor edges...and a black curtain background....Trying to figure out lighting though...recently ordered a neon sign with a karaoke mic to hang over the curtain

I think you had a great idea. Just something else for me to build. I think that you could may be have an update and add some electrical lighting. I will have to make some track lighting to stick in front when I make mine. Maybe you could build a stand for the lights. Whatever, I will just stick my lights on the floor.

That is a great idea!

But, I was thinking...It needs a dimmer. And if you wanted

You could get them a cool effect light! This is normally $80!!!

[Mr. Rig It]

Too Cool! Thank you!

If you decide to get it, I don't know where you could put it. It looks like she has a tight space. They do get hot so, you don't want to have them dancing and then get burned. Well, good luck; Maybe a Christmas present, that is how I got it.

some kind of "tubed-goo" from the hardware store in the platform's "edge-crack" would act as a very good finish and wouldn't get tripped over.

[Mr. Rig It]

That is a good idea, I will have to ponder it for a while. Thanks for the input.

very cool, my daughter is in the same stage. Where did you get the wavy mirrors from? those are awesome. Perhaps an instructable on how to make them? :D

[Mr. Rig It]

Thank you for your comments. I got the mirrors form the IKEA store here in Phoenix, they were very cheap. I got the music notes from the dollar store. You could easily make your own music notes though..
