My wearable arts journey

Our wearable arts journey
9am today:
. We are going to make wearable arts (out of materials and scrap and junk) such as cereal boxes, bubble wrapper, plastic bags, ice block sticks, etc.
Which includes a hat jacket and pants (with a belt).

Afternoon
. We found out how to make clothes out of random junk and design cool stuff.
. I wondered at first if it was going to be possible to make clothes out of random materials because we didn't have the right materials to the plan.
. The most challenging bit was making the pants because there was a hole down the bottom.
. Now we need to make the pants not have holes in them because it slips down and looks weird.
. Tomorrow we are going to add on more details to the suit with bubble wrap and  make the jacket sleeves longer because it will look cooler.
. The most fun part was making the hat because it was the easiest

Our wearable arts journey continued:
This is my design so far
Today I need work on:
. The pants because they fall down and they look terrible .
. I want to make shoes and gloves because it will complete the suit.
. To make the hat look better.
. And to make more decorations on the jacket.

Wearable arts journey continued:
. Yesterday we completed the pants by sowing them together the shoes made out of boxes added more detail to the by putting more ribbons on and beads and we put more wood sticks through the jacket.
. We had difficulty with the shoes because our toes kept poking out the other side
. Working in a group is good because you get the job done quicker
. Our suit is themed by fire so it should be red orange and yellow for fire and we're going to spray paint it red orange and yellow today

OVERALL!:
. overall I feel good about completing my wearable arts costume
. The thing that actually worked best was the hat because it went by the design my group had made
. The most enjoyable part was spray painting it
. The most difficult part was the pants because they had so many holes and we had to sow them all up
. If I was to do this again I would try not to make the pants so difficult
