Evaluation-

My project was a success. It was made to be a decorative object for my room.
In the end, my project looked like the paper designs I made for my project.

The only thing I would change is that I would use a more durable fabric for the back of the body because it wasn’t very strong. On the other side of things, I could use a
Gantt chart enough to keep my project on track enough to be completed early.
I completed my paperwork and had finished my project.
