Building A Mardi Gras Parade Floatpage 2 / 2
These individual flowers were created using a wire and paper. They were then painted and trimmed with silver and gold foil Once fastened, they animate the float with color and movement.
Once props have been constructed, they must be brought to life with paint. Each prop is a work of art and is the focal point of the float. Some props are saved and used again but many are created simply for one parade day.
When the floats are complete, they await Mardi Gras morning, ready to delight the crowds who eagerly anticipate their arrival!
