For this design project, we created our own custom phone box for our lockers. We laser cut the box and included our own designs. I made my phone box slightly shorter so I will be able to see the time on my phone. I included a quote on the front of my phone box, that says “don’t let any one dull your sparkle”.
I feel my biggest success is the glitter. I spent almost two classes filling in the word sparkle with glitter. I spent a lot of time using a nail to fill in each letter with glue then add individual glitter pieces to form the letter. It took a lot of time and patience but in the end, I am really happy with the result.
My biggest challenge was also the glitter. Even though I am really happy with how it turned out, it took many tries and attempts to figure out how to get the glitter to form the word sparkle. Many times, the glitter didn’t stay in shape or didn’t stick.
If I did this again, I would make sure the word ‘sparkle’ was bigger so it’s easier to fill in.
Overall I think this project was successful because I didn’t have a problem with the dimensions and the laser cutting, and the decoration turned out pretty well.
