Description

This Recycled project is the Morrison Bridge. It is the first bridge built to cross the Willamette River in our home town Portland, Oregon.

Emani Wilder has created this bridge. She is almost 9 years old in two weeks and has started, owned and operated her own craft store. Which most of the items she sells are made from recycled material. She hopes to be an Art Teacher when she grows up.

Materials

We built the bridge with Craft sticks for the structure of the bridge; Tissue boxes to stand up base; Piping and dowels for architectural design; Construction paper for the road/ bridge and for the river affect; Tin foil to cover the road; Cardboard for the bottom/base of the bridge; Plastic cups for the top of control towers; We added the touch of a strand of Christmas lights to light up the bridge.

How to Make

  • We used hot glue gun to piece it all together&

    • 300x250
    Tips for Taking a Great Photo:
    • Avoid clutter. Keep the background simple -- your gingerbread house or holiday cookie is the star!
    • Daytime, natural light is best. If your area is bright enough, try taking the photo without the flash.
    • Upload a horizontal photo. If you crop the image on your computer, make sure you keep a landscape 4:3 aspect ratio.
    • For best results, make your image 1200x900 (or "save for web").
    • With a digital camera, you can take as many photos as possible and choose the best one. Have fun!
