The first inflatable I made is this creature with wings and fur on the back. I originally wanted to make an inflatable house. However, it got too round after inflating and I decided to change my idea. I also noticed that the edges look like a nose, ears, and feet and I added a couple of stitches to make those features more obvious. I then decided to play with the fur-like fabric and added it to the back. Sewing on the fur-like fabric was a little challenging because the fur on the edges wants to come off. I wanted the creature to have really large wings but the fabric pieces I cut were too small after being flipped inside-out.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My next inflatable was this flowerpot. I originally wanted to make a round object with two arms sticking out. I wanted the arms to be able to support the round center object and lift it off of the surface. When I was squeezing the center object to determine the size of the arms, I realized that the object really looked like a flowerpot. I then decided to change my idea. I added the brown fabric piece to make the creases in the pot more obvious (also to mimic soil). I then made the flower with fabric and added metal wires inside to give it more support. At first, I wanted to close off the bottom of the pot, but I realized that sometimes if you pull too hard on the wire, the flower could come out so I decided to leave the bottom part open to better adjust the wires when the flower falls out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to use canvas because I want the dumbbell to be really heavy and sturdy. I also wanted the laser cutting to not go through the fabric. However, I still had a lot of trouble when laser cutting. The first time, my sew and cut lines were flipped and so I decided to pause the cutting and use the rest as scrap. The second time, the sew line was cut too deep making it difficult to sew. I decided to just hand cut out from the remaining of my first laser cut attempt and find the best least deeply cut pieces for the parts that I couldn’t save (from the first attempt). Because a lot of my pieces were circular, I both machines sew and hand sew. I started with the center long piece then the two sides and then hand sewn the two sides to the centerpiece. I found that matching the pieces together when sewing is the most challenging part.\u00a0After making the dumbbell, I added vines around the piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\nRhino Link:<\/p>\n\n\n\nhttps:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1pa0UDe5iHNbqTY36yva-izUACPenhJAX?usp=sharing<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nOverall, I had a fun time making these objects.
