Pulsar : Cool Projects : Eco-Rama ECO-RAMA STEP C : Making the Sun Lights! Colors! Action! I've been waiting for you! Crystal River and every other environment needs the sun to be healthy and grow. So let's start your nature scene by adding a little sunshine! Stuff you'll need: Trash Treasures: yellow or orange tissue paper (used gift wrap) -OR- yellow or orange plastic wrap (use wrap saved from a gift basket) Tip: If you have white tissue paper, you can paint it with yellow watercolor paint or food coloring. Other stuff: glue a flashlight a cup or other circle shaped object to use as a stencil scissors -or- an adult with a craft knife Instructions: Draw your sun with a pencil using a cup or other circular object as a guide. Put your sun on the opposite side of your box as your peep hole. If an adult can help, it might be best to have them cut your sun out with a craft knife. If not, you can cut it out with regular scissors. Remember: Don't use a craft knife without adult supervision. Next, cut out a piece of yellow or orange tissue paper a little larger than the hole. You can also use colored cellophane. Dab small drops of glue around the edges of the hole on the outside of the shoe box. Place your paper or cellophane over the hole and press until it is glued in place. Cover your shoe box with the lid. Look inside and shine a flashlight through the back of the sun. Wow, that's hot! The sun is shining on what will soon be your beautiful Crystal River scene. Take the lid off and set it aside. You won't need it again until you have finished creating your nature scene.
