Plastic fashion show.

This is why I love being an art major.

For my final in one of my classes, we had to make a high fashion, couture outfit.. totally made out of plastic bags. First I tried sewing them together.. that took WAY too long. Then I thought about staples.. which ripped them. So I decided on hot glue, which sort of melted the bags but the fact that I was using a thick black trash bag as the base kept it from melting all the way through.

My wonderful friend Elise walked it down the runway for me.. I was freaking out because the skirt took me ALL night, so I knew I would basically have to sew her into the top (which was literally just a piece of trash bag)
When I got there I was pulling out my needle and thread when a girl next to me said "You know you could use tape"
Seerriously, why didn't I think of that the night before?


My next experiment.. weaving a belt out of colorful plastic bags. Yeah?
