My first attempt at building my own inflatable. The goal was to learn the ropes and what I can and can't do.
Can:
Make a mess.
Can't:
Make it hold air.
I have no idea how I'd even go about painting it. Also it's too small and thin but I wanted to go easy on the material consumption for now. The valve was scavenged from a water wing. It's not welded, only glued. Next time I need to pay more attention to concaves.

Just some colored soft PVC foil, a round cutter and PVC glue (UHU in this case). Also a pair of swim wings from a local supermarket. You'll probably also want some large paper sheets for sketching your shapes out before cutting them (all I had at hand was A4 so the shape is predictably small) and of course a surface you can cut on without worrying about ruining the dinner table.
The most annoying part was that the glue needs to dry for about 10 minutes before you join the pieces, that's a lot of waiting. My lacking accuracy with the cutter wouldn't matter much with a larger shape but I'd really like a better method of joining pieces.
