Subject: Realistic Indoor Forest.
Content: Thin gs You’ll Need: Small tree branches (When you stand them up, they'll look like a tree growing outta the ground) Real fallen leafs (just bag as many as you possibly can) Thin wire (you can get this stuff by the rolls at lowes. Make sure its the kind you can bend easily) A strobe A fog machine (with the fog juice of course) Duct Tape (opional to hold the limbs steady) U nails and a hammer (be warned, this goes into the ceiling) Wire cutters Putting it Together: 1. Once you have all of your leafs and tree limbs, attach the metal wire to the tip of the tree limbs. Make sure it is around the tip as tight as possible 2. Now, you may want to make sure how far away the ceiling is from the top of your tree limbs. This way, you don't cut the wire too short. Once you have it figured out, leave at least 5 inches more of wire to at the end. Continue this until you have as many trees as you want. 3. Now, place the nails in the ceiling where you want the trees to stand. Do not nail them in completely. Leave enough room for the wire to run through them. Make sure you don't place them closely together. This is a forest after all...If your guests will be walking through the forest, you may want to leave enough room for a walk way. 4. Now, connect the end of the wire to the U nails. Run the wire through the nails 3 times. Then twist the part left over, around the ending of the wire. This will hold it tightly and will be easy to take down. 5. You have already done the hard part... Now, this part is completely up to you. But if you want to make sure your trees dont move, tape the bottom of the tree limb to the floor. Use duct tape for a good hold. 6. Now, for the leafs. All you really have to do here is just spread them out all over the place in your forest. Just go crazy here. But, make sure if you used the duct tape, to cover the duct tape with the leafs. After you have finished, you should already be seeing the forest. 7. If you have a fog machine and want a fog machine in this room, place it somewhere in a corner or behind a tree where no one can see it. Make sure it doesn't get so foggy though. 8. The strobe. Try to find a place high off the ground for your strobe. Make sure its set on high. Gives it a more creepy feeling. Or if you want it on low, for Jason (or who ever you want in this room) to slowly appear and make their way towards the guests. TIP AND WARNING: Some of you may already know this. If you don't want that many nails in the cieling, only put up a few at a large distance apart. Run thin wire or rope through the nails. Connect the wire or rope on each nail. Then connect the wire from the tree limb to the rope or wire you just put up. But you will have to use duct tape to hold the wire steady and to keep it from sliding. Make sure you have put enough room in the walk way, for at least 2 people to fit through. Last thing you want is someone poking their eye out on a tree limb. PICTURE!
