Fabrication Process

Small scale paper testing (Thank Origami master Uttam for the help!) 

Then use mylar sheet for the final material. Got an angel helper Gladys!

Test putting it on two people! Need to add paper in the bottom part to increase the distance between two users, allowing the space for sitting with legs crossed face to face comfortably
