Name: Juliana Johns

Project Title: DIY crafts
Project Start Date: November 7, 2014

Mentor’s Name: Mrs. Browning, Mom, Grandmother
Brief Description: I am going to spend my 20% researching, and doing DIY crafts.

 Overview of Project Proposal

 Project Objective: 

        I want to spend my 20% time, by researching DIY crafts, and learning to do them. One of my hobbies is crafting, so I will be learning new crafts, and enjoying the time I spend doing them. Every few weeks I’ll do a new craft, and then post a picture and procedures on how I did it on my blog. Then, I’ll be learning new crafts, and teaching anyone who is reading my blog.

 

Project Rationale:

The reasoning of this project is simple. The DIY crafts that I do can be lamps, room decor, and useful things. While doing these crafts I may need to learn some new skills, like sewing or even cooking. My mom and my Grandmother are both very artistic, so they will be very valuable with this project. Crafting is my hobby, so I would like to learn more about it. I can spend time at school learning and doing things that I enjoy.

Possible Road Blocks:

 

       I could come to plenty of road blocks. I could run out of DIY projects to do. I may not have time in my week to craft, so I could get behind.  There are lots of things that could stop me from doing this project, but it’s important that I stay motivated.

 Research Questions:
