You Will Need:

• A4 black foam board x2
• A4 White Card
• White marker pen
• Ruler
• Cutting Mat
• Scalpel
• Split pin
• Glue

 

Method:

1. Using your ruler and scalpel cut a thin strip off the top of the foam board (grown ups only!)
2. Use the cut off top strip to trace around on the white card.
3. Once that rectangle shape is traced, then draw diagonal lines inside of it, alternating in width.
4. Grab those scissors and cut out the diagonal shapes.
5. Keep hold of the wider diagonal sections, then stick these to the thin foam board strip so that create that iconic movie black and white striped effect.
6. Repeat the process with the white card again (the tracing, diagonal drawing and cutting) and use these diagonal sections to place along the top of the larger piece of foam board, in the opposite direction of the other thin strip.
7. To add the element of movement to your clapper board, attach a small rectangle with glue, approx 5x10cm in size, to the back of the large board; leaving half of it sticking out at the top.
8. Bring the thin strip back into the mix, by aligning it along the top of the large foam board and place it over the small rectangle sticking out.
9. Now, use the split pin to connect the strip to the small rectangle, so that it can move up and down like a clapperboard!
10. Once it is connected and moving correctly, you can now now start to write on the information.
11. Use your white marker to create lines and add your movie party details!
12. Enjoy being ( or assigning!) a director for the evening!
