How To Decorate A Fiberglass Baptistry Unit For Less Than $500.00?
Once a fiberglass baptistry has been selected and purchased, decorating the unit is the next step. Most fiberglass baptistry units placed in churches will look awkward as a stand-alone feature if intended to be a permanent fixture. Portable fiberglass baptistry units also may benefit from decorations while in use, but are much more affordable to decorate than permanent fixtures. Lets take a look at a few different ways to transform any fiberglass baptistry into something phenomenal. Permanent fiberglass baptistry units should be placed in an area that is against at least one wall. Some prefer to create a corner unit if using a small baptistry. Placing waterproof materials in front of and on the sides of the bapstistry will create a less awkward look and make the unit blend into its surroundings. Buying materials from home improvement stores may prove to be rather expensive. By placing ads in local newspapers or online, almost all churches will be able to collect bricks, cinderblocks or plastic sheets for inexpensive prices; sometimes those in the community are willing to donate them for free. Local contracting companies often may donate half the supplies and allow the rest to be purchased if the church will print a receipt for them to use as a tax write-off. Those who receive inexpensive building supplies may decide to spend a little extra money on a background. Often large screens to place in the background with a printed scene are affordable and found at screen printing stores or online auction sites. Sometimes finding inexpensive building supplies may not be feasible for everyone. If this is the case, a simple solution is to install a curtain track above the length of the baptistry, either along the ceiling or just below. Curtains will not only cover up the unit and create a sophisticated look but also will discourage small children from trying to play in the basin. Portable baptistries are also easily covered by a curtain but if storing them is preferred, they may be decorated by placing a hand-made skirt around the bottom of the unit and if desired, garlands or flowers may be attached for a more decorative look.
