This is a badge bit (BB) that is part of the PEP curriculum.  Completing this BB is part of getting the sand badge in Greywater and Willow Feeders.

For this Badge Bit you will create a hand crafted, laminated information sheet.

To complete this BB, the minimum requirements are:
  - details how a willow feeder works on one side
  - explains how to deal with shark week on the other side
  - must have lots of drawings

To show you've completed this Badge Bit, you must show proof of the following (as pictures or a video < 2 mins):
 - show creation of the information
 - show the completed information sheet
 - show the information sheet (both sides) after being laminated

Out of curiosity is there any reason it has to be 'Hand-crafted' & can't just be digitally typed out/crafted? I think I speak for a large number of people in saying my artistic skills only go so far, same with my penmanship. Maybe I am misunderstanding? What is the definition of 'Hand-crafted' in this case?

Approved submission
In retrospect, I would have used a different highlight color to divide sections on the back, but at the time I wasn't thinking about it when I grabbed the red pen.

Can I use a different material or skip laminating to avoid plastic? My willow feeder is indoors. Should be something Paul likes better too, right?

Anyway, I needed a sign, so I made this. It's biodegradable, hope you can approve it

That's a beautiful sign Tomke!!!  I think the lamination is so that the beauty of the sign isn't ruined by the humidity of a bathroom (or the weather outside).  Getting people to create good art and poetry about a willow feeder is one thing, getting them to replace it when it gets ruined by humidity is even harder.  There are ways to laminate without plastic: Laminating without a laminator
