Recycled fashion show

Every year Academy put on a "Trashion Fashion" Show. This is to show that fashion doesn't have to be just store bought items. Kids and adults alike make functional items, art pieces and clothing from recycled materials. This year i made three...well actually 5 items.

I made a dress and purse solely from playing cards tied together by yarn.

I also made wedges from my sister's old swimsuits, used firewood, the inserts to a pair of pointe shoes and extra plastic sewing mesh.

I made a 60's style dress based on the Monkees Video of "Cuddly toy" from an old sweatshirt and pop tabs for Sara. This is my favorite.

Then I made a flapper dress for my friend Molly from an old tee shirt and toilet paper tubes.

Aren't they cool?!?!?!?!

I also got First Place ($100) for my playing card dress.
