CREATING DIY 3D FAMILY TREE (AILE AGACI)

Students can choose and create a family tree that represent “Simpsons”, ”Family Guy” or “Incredibles” TV show’s family members.

Family trees are typically diagrams with photographs of family members, but this DIY family tree is a three-dimensional tree made with branches in a pot. The family photographs hang on the tree as flowers, and as the family grows, additional photos can be added or updated. It makes a great conversation piece, as well as a heartfelt gift for Mother's Day or Father's Day, anniversaries, welcoming a new baby, and christenings.

Things You'll Need Pot or vase or kind of base even toilet paper rolls

Floral foam

3-inch wood discs

Felt

Decoupage glue

Foam brush

Clothespins

Ribbon

Glue

Scissors

Photographs

Branches

Moss

Wood

Cardstock

Place a block of floral foam in a decorative pot. You can purchase floral foam in the floral supply section of your local crafts store. Insert branches in the foam to hold them steady. You may need two to three branches to create a full tree shape.Roll some moss into balls and push the moss balls into the pot to cover the floral foam. Packing the moss tightly in the pot will help steady the branches.

Trim the photos so they are the same size and shape as the wood discs. Apply a layer of decoupage glue to the wood, place photos on top, and then apply another layer of decoupage glue on top of the photos to seal them. Wood discs are available in crafts stores. You can also use heavy card stock or cardboard, but the wood discs are sturdier for this project. And don't forget to include pictures of your pets; they're family, too.

After the decoupage photos are dry, place them on a piece of felt and draw a flower petal outline around them. Cut out the flower shape and hot glue the felt to the back of the wood disc. Vary the colors of the felt for each family member. Also, you can draw different shapes such as leaves or butterflies. To make it a family activity, each member can even create their own.

On the back side where the felt is, hot glue some clothespins. The clothespins will make it easy to clip the family photos on the tree branches, while allowing you to move them around as needed. Be sure to attach the clothespins straight up and down, so the photographs are upright when you clip them to the tree. Apart from the family tree, these family photo

clothespins can also be used for clipping papers, as bookmarks, or to secure lunch bags.

This project consists of three parts, so there will be an evaluation of each part: research section, creativity, and presentation to the class. The total points earned for each section will then be added together. Also there will be extra points for using pictures and extra words.
