This badge bit (BB) is part of the PEP curriculum. Completing this BB is part of getting the wood badge in textiles.

In this project, you will make privacy drapes starting with yarn or raw fiber.   You must show a good choice of materials and methods that are appropriate for the goal.

Minimum requirements:
  - may start with raw fiber or yarn
  - fiber content must be an appropriate natural material
  - construction technique will be appropriate for the project
  - drapes will be thin/thick enough to provide visual privacy and allow natural light to pass through
  - total width must be 10 feet
  - can be for multiple windows

To document completion of the BB, provide proof of the following as pics or video (< 2 min):
 - The fiber and/or yarn and tools you will use
 - Explain why your fiber content choice is appropriate for the project
 - Explain why your construction technique is appropriate for the project
 - Making the yarn (if appropriate)
 - Making the fabric
 - Making the drapes
 - Your completed and hung drapes (show privacy and total width)
 
I've got no option but to sell you all for scientific experiments. Or a tiny ad:
