Before we could begin our project, we had to find two trees that were close to each other and tall enough to wrap yarn and lights around the branches. However, we had to find trees that were close to the fine arts building, since we couldn’t go out too far. After we decided on which trees to use, we started wrapping yarn around each tree.

Some of the yarn was neon, so that when we finally plugged in the black lights they would glow in the dark and give more light. Once we wrapped yarn around the tree’s trunk, I decided I would throw the yarn around some branches to make a crazy fun web. I got the yarn stuck a few times, but with the help of my teammates we got it out (No yarn was injured during this project).

Once we were done with the yarn, we started making the chicken wire shapes and spray painted them white. Once they were done drying, my teammates placed each one on a different side and angle of both trees while I gave them yarn to wrap around the shapes to keep them steady. After that, we wrapped the lights around the tree branches and trunk and connected them together in the center of the yarn. And lastly, we plugged in our black lights inside the fine arts building and tested them out to make sure they worked. But as a bonus, for the past few days, I’ve been making sure no one stole the black lights or took the lights and yarn off the trees. I’ve also tested the black lights at night with one of my teammates. My team and I are proud of how this project went, and I hope it doesn’t immediately get taken down once the semester is over.
