Banner Chair Prototype 3

 BANNER CHAIR:

This is our third (and final) attempt at creating our own banner chair!!!

The nails that we used were about this length.

Banners!

Use a saw and cut the poles.

Make sure the poles are of equal lengths - use a measuring tape to do so!

Then use a drill to drill holes into the poles

 We will drill the nails into the poles

Saw out portions of the poles that are about 5.5CM

They form the legs of the chair

More sawing!

 

 More drilling

We also used a hammer to hammer the nails in

Connect the poles together

HAMMER!

Meanwhile, the girls started to cut the banners into our desired shape and size for the chair. 

Measure using the measuring tape and use a marker to draw out the shape and size you want. 

THEN START USING YOUR SCISSORS TO CUT!

Binding the legs together.

LIKE THIS!

Putting the banner on top

We used musking tape to tape the banner because we didn't have a staple gun.
We suggest for all to use a staple gun because it will be more lasting and stronger than using tape.

TADAH, DONE!!!! :)
& THATS RYAN SITTING ON IT!!

Our third attempt took up about 6 hours to complete and was the biggest prototype we made. Based on the time taken to construct the chair, we conclude that the banner chair is not very difficult to make. :)

Banner Chair Prototype 2

This is our SECOND PROTOTYPE:

We used nails to nail the poles together instead of strings this time! It's more sturdy than the previous one.

RMB TO STAY TUNED FOR MORE!!!

 BANNER BAG INTERVIEWS:

We had 2 interviews based on our idea of banner bags today. One with Ms Chin Kiok Cheng of Maris Stella Secondary School and the other with Ms Laura Goh of CHIJ Toa Payoh Secondary. 


Interview with Ms Chin Kiok Cheng, Maris Stella Secondary School:

We had an interview with the Ms Chin Kiok Cheng, the Home Economics teacher of Maris Stella Secondary on 25th August 2010 on the feasibility of our idea of implementing a Home Economics project for students to sew banner bags.

Ms Chin felt that our idea was very feasible and even suggested us to sell the made banner bags at flea markets in order to increase sales.

Nevertheless, we did not conduct our project at Maris Stella Secondary School as our project timings was unable to fit into their students' schedules.



Interview with Ms Laura Goh, CHIJ Toa Payoh Secondary:

Ms Laura Goh was very satisfied with our proposal and agreed to carry out our project for her Home Economics Students. We will be carrying out the project (makings of banner bags) in October, so stay tuned for more! :)

We sincerely thank Ms Chin and Ms Goh for their time and efforts!

THE PROCESS:

Remove the staples from the banner poles

Hammer the nails in

This forms the legs of the chair! 

 We used Nylon strings to tie the banner poles together.

Not bad for our first attempt right? ;)
