Anybody love The Lorax? Well, my friend Jenni does and our friend Jessica wanted to throw her a Lorax themed baby shower party with all sorts of other visiting Dr Seuss characters. So, I set about creating large Truffula trees, mini Truffula trees, and some images for the wall (the Lorax and the fish from One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish).
At first it was difficult finding swimming noodles in the end of winter, but thankfully I live in Florida and I found them eventually!
Maybe I'll post details on how I created them, or you can check out a combination of blog posts from this person, this person or this person. But, I sorta mixed and matched to create mine. Take a look! :)
Supplies:
Large Truffula Trees
- Tissue Paper
- Swimming Noodles (Yellow)
- Crepe Paper (Black)
- 14-20 gauge wire
- Tape
Small Truffula Trees
- Tissue Paper
- Neon Extra Long Drinking Straws (moderately difficult - have to wrap in tape to stabilize the bendy part - I used tape)
