Design Loop: Cardboard Clothing

I went through a frustrating design process creating my upcycle project. I knew what material I wanted to use, and I knew the general theme of what I wanted to make. However, I ended up throwing out a lot of ideas after I tested them for feasibility. I knew I wanted to make something I could wear out of cardboard, and make it not just look like salvaged trash. I found that I would abandon an idea, but then come back and use a piece of it later in a different concept. I had a constant loop of hitting a wall, and then using an idea I had previously trashed to make it work. I think this will be useful in the main design project. If I can create lots of prototypes and then use all the best ideas to make a final product, I think I will be successful.
