Example output
Actual tested output. The notes used for this result are an example, not a real event. This box is not copied. Replace the notes above with your own before you paste the prompt.
All six use only cardboard, removable tape, string, black fabric offcuts, and paper bags. Style: friendly shadows and woodland shapes in an indoor hallway. Keep one walking lane open. Do not block an exit. No flames and no electrical changes. No cost or environmental claim is made. Optional items: none are required. 1. Cardboard trees Assembly: fold cardboard into two or three standing tree flats. Tape a black fabric scrap on each as a soft shadow patch. Placement: against one hallway wall, not across the walk and not over a door. Dismantle and store: peel the tape, flatten the cardboard, fold the fabric. 2. Paper-bag stumps Assembly: fold paper bags into short stump shapes. Tape a fabric scrap on the front of each. Placement: along the base of the same wall, in a row, out of the walking lane. Dismantle and store: remove tape, empty the bags, flatten them. 3. String leaf line Assembly: tie fabric offcuts onto a length of string so they hang like leaves. Placement: along one wall, low enough to hang without climbing, and not across the hall or an exit. Dismantle and store: untie the fabric, coil the string. 4. One woodland animal Assembly: fold cardboard into a single friendly fox or owl silhouette, not a scary face. Tape one fabric scrap on as a chest mark. One animal only, so this is not a recolour of the trees. Placement: on the wall beside the trees, clear of the exit. Dismantle and store: peel tape and flatten. 5. Bag undergrowth Assembly: open paper bags into soft clumps and tape a fabric scrap behind each so it reads as a shadow shrub. Placement: low, along the wall, not in the center of the hall. Dismantle and store: untape and flatten the bags. Keep fabric with the other offcuts. 6. Wall path markers Assembly: fold cardboard into simple leaf shapes. Tape them in a spaced line. Placement: on the wall at hand height, not on the floor, so they do not become a trip hazard, and not over the exit. Dismantle and store: peel tape and stack the leaves flat. Skip if time is short: the string leaf line. It has the most tying and untying. The other five can still read as one woodland hallway. Storage checklist - Flatten every cardboard piece. - Flatten every paper bag. - Coil the string and tie the coil. - Fold fabric offcuts into one bag. - Keep the removable tape with the box. - Label the box hallway woodland. - Walk the hallway once and confirm the exit is clear of tape and shapes.
