The Final Product


What I have accomplished this week

This week is the last week for our Genius Hour project. I finished my final product on Wednesday night, which was the product that I have promised to do for two weeks, a birthday card with two crafted roses on it. The picture is on the right.

I love this pattern, it's creative and easy. I used a blue hard paper on the top, and the left over of the colored paper from last week's Butterfly Birthday card on the bottom.



Since this is my final product for the project, in order to remember it, I also took a video about me doing the final product. I edited the video on Wednesday night too. The video was too long (last for more than 20 minutes…), so I cut some unimportant parts off and made the video play 5x faster than the original one. I added the background music into the video to make it more interesting, it is a solo piano song called Lyrical Stories. Here is the video. Hope you'll like it.

It has been such a long project, but I enjoyed it and learned a lot from it. I wish if I can get a chance to take my project to the next level. 
See you guys! Hope you enjoyed my blogs and products.

Eighth Try


What I have accomplished this week

In last blog, I said that I will do a crafted-rose birthday card this week, but so sorry… I changed my mind to make two crafted book marks for my teachers due to our success in Science Olympiad last weekends. Last Saturday, our team got the third place in Regional Science Olympiad of Tower Building. My teammates and I were so happy. In order to leave some memories of this competition and the hard work we put in over three months, I made two book marks for our leading teachers, Mr. Zab and Mrs. Adkins. The book marks I designed and made have blue or pink as backgrounds with a tower on each of it. The towers on book marks looks similar as the real one we made for competition. The picture on the right are the book marks.

Here are the steps of making them:
Draw the outline of the tower first; then, use crafted knife to craft it.
Cut the size of the book marks on a paperboard and glue a white paper on top of the paperboard.
Glue the towers to the paperboard.
Use color pencil to fill the background and use color pen to write the words or draw some decorations.

 


What I am doing right now &. What I am going to do next

Due to these meaningful book marks for my teachers, I will keep my words about doing the crafted-rose birthday card and finish it by next Friday. And it will be my last product for Genius Hour. I have already got everything that I will need for doing it, and I will start craft tonight. I hope that it will turn out good!

See you next week!
