Night Time Trees 

Gather: 

  • Two large black foam core boards 
  • Project display board with fold out sides 
  • Utility knife 
  • Tape 

Directions: 

  1. Cut a project display board in half so each side has a fold out hinge. 
  2. Measure over a few inches from the hinged flap and draw a parallel line. Score the line with a knife to create another bend.  Repeat this to make a few bends and circle the tree truck better. 
  3. Cut jagged edges along the top as branches.  
  4. Paint the trunks dark gray. 
  5. On a black foam core sheet, draw a cloud shape edge and cut it out to make the silhouetted tree foliage. 
  6. Add the foliage to the trunk by cutting a three inch slit on both sides of the truck near the top for the foliage piece to slide into.
