im going down there right now to try to affix chicken wire to the front of the tree and give it a little dimension... and i think the foam will adhere better as well!

That looks fantastic! My puppet stage is a wobbly, portable thing made from PVC and fabric. Yours looks great.

Are you putting this thing together by yourself? I put together a Christmas display last year with plywood and screws and by the time I was done, I never wanted to celebrate Christmas again.

Can't wait to see it finished!

me and my pops worked together all weekend....today we covered the whole thing with chicken wire and stuffed it partially with newspaper to create the apearance of roots and whatnot.... ive used 30 cans of spray foam insulation today...and my finger has blisters on its blisters...lol

and we still have more work to do... just ran out of spray foam and money...lol
