Class Tree

Celebrate a teacher and their class. Each student gets their own leaf on a tree.

For smaller classes, leave some of the names as "", this will make empty leaves so the tree isn't empty.

The sign probably won't work well at less than 8" tall as the leaves will be small and the text starts to get illegible.

There is space inside the frame cut for the leaves, but so far, I haven't gotten them to fit well around the trunk. So if you want to save some wood, move the leaves inside manually.

Uses

• Gift for teachers

• Gift for co-workers

• Graduation Gift

• Start of year gift

• Make it a class project by leaving the leaves blank and letting each student decorate their own.
