Budgets

Budgeting was more complex than I had originally thought because you have to think of everything you need to make the 30 costumes pulse the 3 dance leaders. Even though I had made my mini prototype it was still hard to figure out how much of things I would need like plasterzote as this was going to be cut up into legs and this is very hard to judge how best to cut them out what shape to go for ect. It was even hard to calculate how much wire I would need I had to do more of an educated guess.

I have £10 for each child's costume and then £15 for the dance leaders so my total for the hole project is £345

I found it easier to create a list of what I need then find out where to get it from and how much I need.

I had a real problem trying to find plasterzote in purple as the two websites the Uni use do not stock it especially not in the 12mm thick plasterzote.
I tryed the Trylon website: http://www.trylon.co.uk/products/plastazote.htm
and the Kewell Coverters website: http://www.kewell-converters.co.uk/index.htm
Neither one of these had purple plasterzote at 12mm thickness so I started to look ells where and found this website: http://www.hindleys.com/catalog/index.php?cPath=7_57_60_91

Hindleys turned out to be the cheapest one out of all the plasterzote suppliers. I also got the coex plastic from hear as well. Just shows that you do have to look around and find other solutions.

To get the dies for the tiye-dye I need to use proceum dyes with soda ash as this is cold walter dyes.

This is my final Budget sheet:

PVA Paint

I found budgeting a little hard to get my head round but after going through it several times I think I finally got there as I had to remember to include VAT and delivery costs even if we have group purchased them these still need to be split between the amount of people buying the items.

I hope I have remembered everything and got the right amount of products to complete the costumes.
