I want to make a casket for the play merchant of venice .tell me the easiet way to do so without POP?

Answer 1

Well, the only acronym for POP that makes sense is Plaster of Paris, which is uncommon usage anyway. So alternatives to Plaster of Paris would be Paper Mache for molding and hot melt glue and fabric and craft jewels for decoration. Foil would work for simulating brass fittings on a wood casket.

Answer 2

I think the first answer had some very good ideas for you. A little hot glue, some fake jewels, perhaps some braided material for decoration, and then gold, silver, and lead-colored paint...voila.

But, let's make sure we're all on the same page here. I hope you're not mistaking "casket" for what we would today call a "coffin." In Shakespeare's day, a "cask" or "casket" was a small box for the storage of jewels or other valuables. They're pretty small.

Answer 3

I don't know what POP means, however there are a number of instructions out there for making a prop casket. Making it period all depends on the details.
