6-Balloon Black Bamboo Box
9th August 2010
0900-1100

In this project, we had to make a black box which can place six balloons and use this box for the countdown of Super Merdeka Celebration.

Project 3C:

1) Using Bamboo and recycled paper produce a box for 6 standard sized helium-filled balloons.
2) No part of balloon is exposed.
3) All balloons must be releasable by box owner one at a time
4) Due Friday 13th Aug 2010, 0900 hrs. To be used Monday 30th Aug, 11:59:9
5) Box must be light and pass through the USM bus door.

In my opinion, I would like to make a box which looks like train because I always go back to my hometown by train and it's took a very long time. First of all, I was preparing some material for this project such as glue, bamboo sticks, recycled paper, scissors, and cutter.

After that, I start to cut the bamboo sticks into different length to make the frame structure of the box.
I combine the bamboo sticks by using uhu glue so it becomes stronger frame structure.

Below are the combinations of bamboo sticks with different length.

I make the base with some cardboard which is remaining from the previous project. Then, I use the bamboo sticks to make the frame of the box.

I make the wall of the box by using the recycled paper and newspaper.

Then, I start to make the cover of the box.

I make another layer of the cover by using newspaper.

I paste the sugar paper on the cover of the box so it is black in colour.

I also paste the sugar paper on the wall and base of the box.

After that, I start to design my black box. I colour it with red, blue and green colour.

In the process.

Then, I paste the small bamboo sticks on the wall of the box.

Finally, I draw my logo on my box.

I finish my project already. Below is my black box.

On 13th August 2010, it's the time to pass up our project. We were testing our balloon box behind of the E48B.



Dr. Wan was giving us the explanation of our black box. Student was present their own black box in front and showing how they release the six balloons.After the class, we had to pass up our product. My major is interior design so I had to pass up my product to the design studio.
