I enjoyed this entire project! I'm so glad Mrs. Browning gave us this opportunity. We could all learn about something we loved. Our teachers could come and see what things we were interested in, and we could learn about what our friends like. Overall I loved every part of this project it was great!

DIY 20% Crafts

I spent 20% of my time looking through websites and pinterest for unique diy crafts. I set myself a goal that I would try to do a craft every two weeks. I found a lot of ideas, but I only accomplished about 10 crafts total. I wish I would’ve done more in the time that I had, but I didn’t.  Even though the school year will be over, I found a lot of ideas I’m going to continue to try. Since I didn’t do a craft every two weeks, I didn’t necessarily reach my goal. Although I am satisfied with how everything turned out.

            I learned a lot from this project, like to be patient, responsible, and to think outside the box. Some ideas I had to think of on my own. There were times I would start a craft and realize I didn’t have everything I needed. Then I would have to compromise and use whatever I could find. Then I had to think more creatively.

            Around the time I chose diy as my topic, we started remodeling my house. It was perfect because there was so much I wanted to try on my own. I learned all the steps of painting my walls, and refinishing our cabinets. There were so many things I didn’t think you could do yourself. Also, because of this project my room looks a whole lot better. I hung lights, sewed pillows, and made decorations for my wall.

            Despite me not achieving my goal, I did enjoy this process. Looking at all of the unique crafts was interesting. After looking at all the different ideas, I started thinking of my own.

            This topic was great for me. My whole family is very artistic and creative thinking. So when I needed help with something, all I had to do was ask. My mom and I bonded over these crafts. She’s taught me a lot about crafting. So I was able to take what I’ve learned from her and do things on my own. So thank you Mrs. Browning for this opportunity. I wouldn’t have learned how much fun doing things on your own is, without this project.

 

 

I've done a few new crafts. They just aren't posted on here. I'll try to post a few pictures soon! I didn't do a lot of crafts, but I learned a lot. I did enjoy this project!
