I wanted to make it have a lot of long and skinny pieces, so I cut out a bunch of strips from the bags. I still tried to spontaneously decide the angles at which I was taping the bags to each other. This one was a lot harder to put together, partly because I was using packing tape but cutting it into thirds so it was thinner. It aslo was really hard to get the corners, and I think my final product still had a few holes despite my efforts to patch them. When I finished taping the interior together, I realized there wasn&#8217;t enough structure to let it inflate fully, so I taped a couple pieces together on the outside to help. I liked how it turned out but I had to constantly blow into it for it to stay inflated to that&#8217;s why the pictures aren&#8217;t as good! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video\"><video controls src=\"https:\/\/courses.ideate.cmu.edu\/99-361\/s2022a\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/7BBE3AA7-F32E-40BE-839F-A7D4C4D09CC9.mov\"><\/video><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This was my third inflatable, which I did several days after the first two. I wanted to try using larger pieces of bag, so I mostly just cut a big shape out of each one. This one was also somewhat hard to tape, because there were a lot of smaller connections as opposed to my first one which mostly came together in one cohesive shape. However, I felt like I figured out some way better strategies for taping all sorts of connections than the first two. I think I was able to get most of the holes taped up, and I got it done more quickly and felt less like I was struggling while doing it. The clear part with the green was also kind of hard (mostly doing the corners), but I put confetti in it which I think makes it more fun! There is also a lindor truffle wrapper that I incorporated. I liked how this one inflated in pieces rather than blowing up like a balloon like my first one. It also held air better than my second one. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is my first inflatable.
