I would like to make 3 large Origami Electra Icosidodecahedrons aka origami balls that people at the festival can roll around, get inside of and play with. These balls will not be sturdy enough for people to ride inside of sadly however I'm sure people will have fun rolling them around. Here is where I learned to make much smaller versions: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3MEZunaypg&feature=related. The ones I am planning to make will be approximately 5' tall. I am going to make them out of 30 individual 4' x 4' corrugated cardboard pads. Since they will be made of cardboard they will be burnable. So I do not expect to be taking these home with me. When I get the material to make them I will make the individual pieces at home and assemble them at the festival. This means I will be folding and painting the card board units at home. I might enlist the help of anyone I can trick into helping me fold cardboard. :P I will be transporting these origami units via car.

Projected Budget:

- Uline Large Corrugated Pad (Model #: S-355, Size: 48"x48") www.uline.com
  Cost per pad (100+) = $1.57
- Shipping cost = $50.85 (set cost)
-(3 balls) = 100 pads x $1.57 = $157.00 + $50.85 (shipping) = $207.85
- Spray paint/adhesive = $150 ($50 per ball)

Total: $357.85
