Taking the first step
As we had mentioned before, SOMETHING! met at jiaen's house on the 25th May to embark on our new idea.First of all, we washed the bottles that we had picked during at bedok camp.
After that, we began to peel off the labels on the bottles.
The labels that were peeled off were being thrown into the plastic recycling bin.
There were 6 or 7 boxes of bottles to peel.
We packed the peeled plastic bottles into their respective boxes again.
As jiaen had booked the function room in her condominium so that we had a larger space to work in, all 5 of us carried the boxes of bottles and other materials required down.
We started work by sorting the bottles according to their shapes and sizes.
That was quite an easy task given the amount of hands available.
Next up was creating the layers of bottles to be the tree trunk.
Basically, we connected about 20 bottles into a ring shape using scotchtape.
After that, to ensure that the bottles at the bottom layer of the bin would not topple, yilin, angelina and jiaen went to get soil to pour into the bottles so that they could withstand the weight of the bin.
Transferring the soil into the bottles was quite a tedious job as the bottles' openings were quite small, but creative us used newspaper to make our own funnels to speed up the process!
Our soil kept running out so some of us had to go out and get soil.
Our soil kept running out so some of us had to go out and get soil.
After making 6 layers of bottles with the bottom 2 layers filled with soil,we stacked the layers with difficulty.
This is probably the most difficult process of all.
We used alot of scotchtapewe used wire and coil around the bottles to strengthen them.
Initially, the bottles tend to get out of shape so we thought of different ways to keep them in shape.
After some hard work, we managed to get all the 6 layers stacked up.
However, when everything is done, we need to "transport" the bin up to jiaen's house.
To our dismay, the scotchtape could not really withstand the weight of the layers of bottles.
But SOMETHING! would come out of another solution to salvage the bin.
We decided to reward ourselves by treating ourselves to a meal made by Jiaen's Mum.
Next meetup would be finishing the bin (hopefully) and do the proposal.
SOMETHING! jiayou!
