RESEARCH ABSTRACT: A lot of informations about the paper structure from books, from the internet, also did a lot of illustration of sheep, in order to perform the best shape of the package. Measuring the length and the wide of the structure took most of the time, otherwise will be a lot different if the size is not match, the shape of the sheep will not be precise.
Tools: pencil, cutting mat, needles and threads.
CHALLENGE: When measuring each of the length of the structure of my package. Sometimes it's really confusing how big should the size be, I have to try it again and again to find out the best looking length.
