Steps to Follow:
- Cover your Trifold Display Board with dark blue poster board.
- Print and cut out your project images/shapes and set aside.
- Print out the Ray template and glue it to the back of yellow/gold glitter paper. Cut the template out and set aside.
- Print out Spinning Blurs and Light Bulb Shapes. Mount on white poster board and cut out along edge. Set aside.
- Print out research images, typed conclusions, and category titles. Mount on orange and yellow poster board. Cut out shapes with a border to help pop off poster. Set aside for now.
- Cut strips of orange poster board for border shapes. And set aside.
- Cut out pieces of colored poster board to make electrical outlets. Glue all pieces together to resemble outlets shown and set aside.
- Header Assembly:
- Using a project knife, cut the top of your display board header
into curves of a cloud. Carefully attach
fluff with hot glue along the edges of the header. (Safety Tip: Use Popsicle sticks or pencils to press fluff onto header
to getting burned.)
- Using Jumbo
Classic Poster Letters and Vinyl Letters, spell out the title and subtitle on your header.
- Next, Cut several 7”
lengths of fishing line. Use clear gemstones and sandwich them back-to-back
with fishing line in between them. Play with size and spacing along the string.
Set finished strings aside.Print Rain
Droplet template and paste on back of white glitter paper. Cut out raindrop
shapes. Attache larger raindrops to header as shown. Set smaller droplets aside for later.
- Turbines Assembly:
- Print out turbine
templates. Mount the images on white poster board. Cut all the solid lines and
fold along the dotted lines. The turbine blades should fold up. Place paper
fasteners through the center points of the 3-blade and 7-blade turbines. Place
black Quick Letters of the corresponding numbers on the center of the turbines
(3-5-7). Set aside.
- From the center point of the 5-blade spinning blur, cut a nickel sized hole through it and then though Trifold. Line up the Motion Device so the axle sits evenly behind/through the hole. Adhere the Motion Device to the back of the Trifold using the foam squares.
- Make sure the 3-blade and 7-blade turbines on the paper fasteners spin freely. Cut pieces of foam board and glue/tape together into 1.5" tall block. Press paper fastener into foam and test turbine speed. Secure fastener with glue, Be sure not to glue the turbine down.
- Attach 5-blade turbine to Rotating Base and Extender Piece of Poster Motion. Attach to Motion Device through center hole.
- Lay
out all your elements in the same position as the Trifold shown. DON’T glue
anything down yet.
- If
you are happy with your layout, glue/attach everything down.
- Poster Lights Assembly:
- Using the included hole puncher from the Poster
Lights, punch holes through the glitter rays as seen on the Trifold example.
- Feed the lights through holes from the back of the display board and reinforce the wires with glue or
tape.
- Attach battery box to back of display board using included adhesive strips.
- Attach header to your Trifold and add your dangling gemstones to the bottom of the header. Be sure to space out fishing line gems so as not to block out
information.
