Market Day @ Auroa School!

Today was a very important day for our school, our unit topic for this term is "Re-purposing - the art of turning something old and making it new again" Every student enjoyed it but without a doubt the best part for me was the market day. At the start of term we all chose a re-purposed product that would be thoroughly tested and tried over the next few weeks. Our group chose an original idea called "Drinking Jars"

The Concept-

It was made of a Re-purposed jar, taped with a stripy design and then spray painted, once you peel the tape off it reveals a nice design we then drilled holes into the lids and added a straw. Afterward we filled it with juice for our customers. But the great part is, it can be used again, and again, and again!
We thought our idea was pretty cool.  Everyone must have thought so too because the customers kept pilling in so much that we actually sold out in a matter of minutes!  However there are also many other businesses and classes that need to be credited for their hard work and dedication.  Here is a slideshow with a few photo's capturing the day in all it's glory.

Some Instructions For YOU!

How To Make A Drinking Jar.

Prices: Tape $8, spray paint $13, straws $5, varnish $9.

Goal: to successfully make a drinking jar.

Equipment: a jar, nail, hammer, masking tape, spray paint, drinking straw.

Step 1- Clean the label and dry so the jar is completely clear.

Step 2- Nail a hole using your hammer into the centre of the lid.

Step 3- Create a pattern using the masking tape i.e spots, stripes

Step 4- Use your spray paint to give the jar some colour, spray the entire thing so when you peel off the masking tape your pattern is clean.

Step 5- Once dry, peel off the masking tape. This should reveal the pattern you made.

Step 6- Spray one full coat of varnish to keep the colour nice and bold.

Step 7- Wash your jar so it’s safe to drink out of.

Step 8- Add your straw through the hole made in the middle of the lid.

I hope these steps helps you design your very own Drinking Jar!
