I wish I could say I made it, but I can't. All I did was add the fall leaves. The tree was made by a son of one of my workers. He is a set designer in CA. It was first used on a bulletin board with spring leaves in a Sunday School department. He cut the backing for the tree out of cardboard and added strips of 1 inch masking tape that was folded in half leaving some of the sticky side exposed so it would stick to the cardboard. Some of the strips are flat and some are raised to give it depth. Then he used shoe polish in several colors to paint it.

Beautiful display. I love both books you have displayed also. Like the idea of the tree.
