Grinchy Trees

Ivan Adriel from Tiberias Pakuwon Trade Centre Surabaya in Indonesia brings us this design inspired by Whoville Trees. (Originally posted January 2013)

To make this design, they started by cutting styrofoam with a razor blade. They hung the styrofoam with string to make it look like it was standing up.

They used a cement package to make the icicles and block of ice podium. They painted the cement white to make it look frosty.

Then they washed the styrofoam with Par LED 36’s.

The budget was $50 USD.

  6. Great job. What did you use to cut the styrofoam? The edges are neat and smooth.

    • Issachar says:

      Just a normal-cutter-from-nearest-stationery I think. I used it a lot too. To smooth the edge simply with sharp cutter (brand new is needed) if the cutter is used a lot before, just replace the razor with new one.

    Love the look but having trouble understanding the ice on the front of the stage, cement package? What’s the process and product?
    Love it!

    very cool look, but there is no way they could do that many sheets of styrofoam on a $50 budget. That stuff runs $9-11 per sheet.

    How did you make the ice. What materials did you use?

  12. Mark Branson says:

    Great design! Do you have a template you could send me?
