Memorial Postcard
Can someone please help me with this??
i need to make a memorial for a fake World War II soldier. This is what I have that I can use:
a big star of david cut from foam board
an official WWII army shirt
A baseball mitt and ball
Old postcards and pictures
A framed picture of the soldier
(I can use other things too)
I really don't know how to take all this stuff and make it look good. Please help!
Its for an AMERICAN soldier!
O.K., here is my suggestion. First, if this is a school project, think of how your teacher will grade you. Next, buy a nice foam presentation board from an office supply store like OfficeMax or Office Depot. You will also need a nice box. Take the shirt and fold it neatly (iron it if it is wrinkled). Place it in a wide, shallow box. If you have an American flag, look up how to fold it, and fold it properly. Place the flag at the head of the box (at the top of the shirt's collar) and then place the framed photo of the soldier at the side of the flag. Use the photos and postcards to put a nice display on the presentation board which you will place around the top of the box. You may also want to cover the box with some blue paper. You could also use the middle of the presentation board to create a mock headstone. If you do this, place the star of David in the middle at the top, followed by the man's name, rank, unit, date of birth, and date of death. Furthermore, you can place the baseball glove and ball into the bottom of the box (like one on each side of the shirt.)
Well, this is my suggestion, and I hope that it gives you a bit to go on. GOOD LUCK!
