I made these three typewriters for the short play “Words Words Words” from the collection of one-act plays, “All in the Timing.” I am the Prop Master in my school’s Drama Club and our budget is slim, so I chose to make the typewriters out of cardboard and cardstock paper (with some glue, vinyl, and paint). I had envisioned a set of Smith~Corona style typewriters with a boxy look, and after weeks to experimenting and tweaking, I proudly brought them in to school. Since then, I’ve made other needed props out of cardboard/paper and it seems to be my thing now!
