De Bono Thinking Hats

Hello blogging world. This week we were asked to create a Debono thinking Hats about the gala day to see this look at my previous post. We had to make a white hat, a yellow hat, a red hat, a black hat, a green hat and a blue hat. I think it was harder for some than it was for others because some people didn't come to the gala day. This is what I made.

Inquiry- Bags

This last couple of weeks we've been working on making tote bags to sell at the gala day, on the 25th of november, 10:00-3:00. To make them it is a slightly complicated process, depending on your level of expertise. Here is steps on how to  make it.

1. draw down the design you are going to screen print onto a book. 
2. Next, draw down your design on a piece of paper, leaving the outside untouched.
3. now, screen print. Put down newspaper, your cloth, and the outside of your design, that should look like this, 
   and a screen. put the ink on top of the screen press down and pull towards you hard. You have screen printed! Once you've let it dry for a couple of hours,  put the two sides of your bag together,  with the bits you want to be the outside on the inside. Pin the outside of the bag with ordinary sewing pins.  Then use a sewing machine to to sew three sides of it with a straight stitch, being careful not to go too close to the edge or it will rip when you turn it inside out. Next do it again but with a cross stitch but closer to the edge. now fold over the top and sew it twice, then fold it and sew it again. Next do the handle, a bit of 70 cm long strapping. To put it on, turn your bag inside out and sew in a square. do this to all your strapping and then iron repetitively and you are done!!!

Look at Ben go!
