We decided on our theme and the elements of design as a group using

brainstorming and various voting techniques. We learned about a wide

variety of textile and craft techniques and selected the ones we

thought would work best with our design. We divided tasks into

smaller groups and worked together to make sure the selected

materials would look good together. The final product looked

fabulous and we all love it!

Troop 785 in Huntsville, Alabama

Title - "Make the World a Better Place".

Dream Theme - Conservation

What else could the IFC do? "Wrap the Hollywood Sign".

Who was involved:

Amanda Pierce, Catherine Cape, Madison Smith, Cosette Lassiter, Kaitlyn Hatmaker, Mendy Pierce, Judy Lassieter and Valarae Pfister

Materials and Techniques Used: Recycled Blue Jeans, Duct Tape, Fabric Paint, and Fabric Glue.

What is the story behind your artwork?

The girls in the troop first chose a theme. They then each drew what they thought the panel should look like.

After voting for the winning design, they chose the materials. Wanting to encourage recycling, they decided on Blue Jeans for the backing. To stay fun & current, they wanted to use colored duct tape. A friend sewed the jeans together for us, and the girls worked together to complete the design."
