Description: The Flying Swings Ride: For my Doodads project, I decided to do the Flying Swings Ride. I picked this ride because it is always at the amusement park and it helped me get over my fear of rollercoasters. For the base of the ride, I used different textured cardboard to give it depth. I used papier mache and newspaper to add details to the top of the ride. For the color scheme, I used blue, white, red, goldish yellow and green. I picked these colors because they represent the colors of the Florida flag. For the swings, I used thin wire and two green soda cans. I reshaped the cans to make a swing. Everything I used on this project was recycled. Thank you.
