Candy Wrapper Wallet

Hello! Today I made another project. This project is inspired by a video from Youtube made by SoCraftastic. The project is based on how to make a candy wrapper wallet. Although she used Starbust candy wrappers, I used Judge gum candy wrappers. I was not able to video myself doing it, so I was not able to upload a Youtube video about it, but here is a step by step tutorial of it with pictures.

wallet

MATERIALS:

• Card (credit card)
• bills
• tape (the big kind)
• candy wrappers (loads of them)
• decorative materials
• clear plastic (OPTIONAL)

STEPS:

1. Eat as much candies as you can or you can share them with your friends.
2. Get your tape and cut a strip that is four inches longer than your bill. Make three of this and stick them all together (all sticky side up)
3. Put the wrappers on top of the stickyng tape design side up. It is ok to overlap the candy wrappers because we will place a layer of tape over the design anyway. Do this until no sticky parts is seen.
4. You will see that your wrappers are not exactly align to your tape. Just cut the extra parts off.
5. Then tape the design side so it is glossy too.
6. Repeat steps 2 to 5. Then cut 1 centimeter from the top of this layer.
7. Now you have two, but one smaller. Align them so that the bigger one is at the bottom and the smaller one on the top. (The smaller one design side up and bigger one design side down.)
8. You will see a blank white space over the smaler one because it is not design with candy wrappers. You will have to coat that part with candy wrappers and tape.
9. Then tape both of the pieces together.
10. Add card slots by making one big paper made of tape and candy wrappers again. Then cut it to the right size and layer it up. Make sure to leave space at the top, so the card will have some allowance. I only have to card slots because three won't fit.
11. Then add a transparent window by taping strips of candy wrappers on the side of a clear plastic to make as borders and tape the whole piece to the wallet.  Or you can make a transparent window using your tape. Just Stick both sticky sides together.
12. Then beautify your work.

TIP:

• BE CAREFUL ON TAPING THE THINGS DOWN. THE WRAPPERS CAN CRUMPLE EASILY AND THE TAPE CAN STICK TO EACH OTHER EASILY TOO. I learned it the hard way.

Title:                How We Can Improve Educational Methods

Problem:        Laziness has been a huge mistake that has been acquired by lots of students. If you haven’t noticed, lots of people post pictures in Facebook, complaining about how they work in school and not get paid, but instead we students pay to work. Do you know what I think? I think those pictures are practically useless. They are cute, yes, but very useless. Do you really think schools will stop teaching or stop giving out assignments? No way. That is why my mission today is to make studying more fun than studying more like a job for students like us who are actually suppose to be enjoying it.

Hypothesis:   I hypothesize that if educational methods were made more fun and personal to students, then students might just feel like they are a part of these lessons and sooner or later will try to connect to the subject by studying on their own.

Procedure:    Ask ten students to volunteer for this experiment. Divide the group by two, so you will have five here, which will be called Group A, and five there, which will be called Group B. Make separate study sessions for both groups for five days. For Group A, teach in a normal manner, not to hurt teachers, but I mean the more boring type and with text books and stuff like that. For Group B, teach in a more fun and personal manner. This means more jokes, stories, but not too much. Every day, make exercises about the lesson for that day to train Group A and B’s minds. Use the normal test paper and ball pen exercise for both groups. Record the scores on the chart below. At the end of the fifth study sessions, make one final long test, composing all the lessons you have taught the students since the first day. Record the scores on the chart below. Then average the scores by group. If Group A’s averages are higher than Group B’s, then my hypothesis is proven wrong, but if Group B’s is higher, then my hypothesis is proven right.
