Project description

Why was this project created? For whom?

The benefits of making this project are:

The criteria under which this project was designed were:

• PVC piping
• 4 layers of cellophane sheet
• Connectors

1

Design a frame

To build the frame you will use pvc pipes that are meant to be joined through the connectors.

2

Place the insulating noodles around the pvc pipes

Once the frame is built, the insulating noodles are placed around the pvc pipes. If this material is not available, it can be replaced with newsprint pages, bubble wraps or any other component that is soft at the edges.

3

Wrap it with cellophane

Place the frame on top of the layers of cellophane, tape the polymer on one side of the frame, and start wrapping until the 2 layers of cellophane cover everything. When finished, tape the remaining sides.
