Genius Hour Reflection One

This week for my genius hour project I decided to do some research and find d.i.y videos that I would want to accomplish for this project. I came across a page on Facebook called Nifty that has mini videos of projects that are creative and also some at home solutions for every day problems. I decided I am going to start with making a taco headphone holder that will be a cute way to hold my headphones in my purse without letting them get tangled. I went to Michaels and bought the materials needed such as craft leather, felt, buttons, and a glue gun. I put my creativity to the test on this simple project.

Genius Hour Question

Can I make things/build things that will upgrade my home and life by following the D.I.Y videos online? Eg.Wine-bottle centre piece or a cat hammock. So I will research online to find some Do It Yourself Videos that appeal to my interests and then follow them to the best of my abilities so I can take small steps to improving my artistic skills.
