Wearable Arts


This term we we have been doing wearable arts.  My group has 2 people, Royden and Belinda.  My festival is Christmas.  I chose Christmas because I like Christmas.  My Christmas outfit is made out of old t-shirts and it's called Christmas T.  It took  lots of team work and effort to make the costume.  First we ripped the t-shirts into strips.  We used hot glue to stick it together.  It was my first time using a glue gun, I was a wee bit scared because things could go wrong like touching the hot glue.  When I was stretching to put a strip on, I accidentally touched the hot glue, but it turned out that it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be.
The stapler was stapling, it seemed like it was going to work, but when the material stretched the staples came off.  We made decorations for my tree, out of balloons and string, but it didn't turn out right, so I made decorations a different way. We made decorations out of felt and put string to tie it on.  We used old tissue boxes as my present shoes.  We wrapped them with wrapping paper and put bows on them and elastic to hold them on.  We made a Christmas star for the top of the tree, we made a headband for the star so it could stay on.
Next time balloons are a big no no because now we know they wont work with thick string, if we were using balloons again we would get better string. I liked making my Christmas T costume and its almost the big night! The final touches will be revealed on the big night!
