For example, when you have made like a pen, I would have to sand it then put a coat of glaze on it to protect it . I would need to work out how much all of this cost and to make sure I was charging more than the cost of my materials and time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left\">Before any of this I had to do a survey to see what people wanted and what they would buy.On endeavor day I am going to lay out some designs and some clay and get people to try and make them as good as they can.The most important thing I have completed is my business plan.Business plans are very important because they are telling you what you have planned to do and when you have to do it.<\/p>\n<p>In this endeavour I have learned many skills, some of them are digital skills which is my book creator. Another one of my skills I have learned is time management. Everything I will be making is going to be sold at the endeavour fair.I have learned a lot from this endeavour this year.The only thing I need to do now is to attach the key rings on to the octopuses then I am ready for the endeavour fair.<\/p>\n<p>By Caitidh<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/i.pinimg.com\/originals\/dd\/e5\/4c\/dde54cdd2719a7885b79fc399e6c57d7.jpg\" alt=\"Image result for polymer clay octopus keyrings\" width=\"213\" height=\"200\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My endeavour is making a business selling items made of\u00a0 Polymer Clay.I thought of this because I was inspired by my mum as who used to make and sell pens and key rings to her friends .To make my business successful I thought of using polymer clay because it is cheap and easy to work &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/2019\/06\/05\/caitidhs-endeavour\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Caitidh&#8217;s Endeavour&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2469,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-569","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2469"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=569"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":617,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/569\/revisions\/617"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=569"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=569"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.glowscotland.org.uk\/ab\/endeavour\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=569"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
