Tasks for the Children to finish the Fins
Using the scraps from the scrap store staple them to the bottom of the fin for extra movement. It also allows the children to make their own decisions about how there final costume will look. Another job that needed doing was using the small cable ties attach the elastic to the fins and cable tie the fins to the t-shirt.
Then me and helper had to put the headdresses together using the glue guns.
Problem solving
- The school's glue guns were cool melt guns therefore they wouldn't slick properly so I had to nip to B&Q to get a hot melt glue gun, this slowed us down a little but we manage to get most of them done.
- On the trying on session we realised the PVA glue used at schools is watered down so that it lasts longer which meant some of the shapes were coming off the fins. Luckily the helper agreed to help more when I left for the last workshop and so several parents sewed using a sewing machine a straight line all the shapes just to make sure if it was a windy day nothing would come off. This was very helpful and I was very thankful for the help.
