To create the seat wedge, I started by cutting out a 28x15 inch piece fo cardboard. From there, I measure 11 inches and 10 inches. I made an incision with a box cutter to make bending the cardboard easier. I made the back of my seat wedge 4 inches high. I then measured my structure to get the support triangles. I cut three of the support triangles out and put one on each end and one in the middle. To get my product to stay together I used hot glue. I then added screws from the back into my supports using white glue to hold them in place. I then used masking tape to keep my structure from coming undone. I used the brown tape to cover all my edges

To create the prone standing frame, I first started by cutting out four 11x11 inch squares. I glued two of the boards together with the grains going in opposite directions to create the sides of the frame. Then, I cut those side pieces on a diagonal to make one side 10 inches. I made sure both sides were equal in height and width for an easier assembly. I then cut a 35x8 inch strip to be what wraps around the sides. On the slanted side, I cut the spaces for the feet and straps. I also added four screws to the back of the stand. To make the base, I measured what I had to the frame and added 2 inches. I then scored and chiseled some of the cardboard for the frame to sit into. I used white glue to connect the stand and the base. 

Rocking Perch

To make the rocking perch, I started out by cutting two 8x12 inch pieces of cardboard. I then cut those pieces in half to make four 8x6 inch pieces. I glued the cardboard together so I had two sets of doubled wall 8x6 cardboard pieces. From there, I used a plate as a stencil for the curve of the rocking perch. I then cut a long piece of cardboard that had a width of 8 inches. I used the sides of the rocking perch to measure out the dimensions of the piece of cardboard that would serve as the front, back, and top. I used hot glue to hold it together along with 4 screws on the front and back and tape. I then took a regular piece of cardboad and used it as my bottom. To finish the construction, I used the brown tape to seal all the edges.
