Martin B Posted April 20, 2011 Share Posted April 20, 2011 Amy has just finished making this prom style dress for her A-Level Design and Techonology project. The dress is made entirely from a few staples and a whole load of recycled paper!! Uploaded more photos to my blog, but Amy isn't a member on here. When she first said that she was making a dress out of paper I almost laughed at her, but when I realised she was being serious I was concerned. But I'm really pleased with the final product, so much better than I ever expected. Have a craftastic day! The first person to say 'I hope it doesn't rain' then shame be on you Martin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martin B Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 The bottom half is two copies of the Sunday times. The top bit and corset is made from old sheet music books. The flowers are made from tissue paper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Couperwife Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 i love the ideas that people have, its fab, thats why i love working in a school, I can show the students how to do the stuff, they just need to come up with the ideas to do its a lovely dress - is it actually wearable (i know it wouldnt be worn, unless for a fashion show) but could it be put on- taken off? is it the right size, etc? cathy x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin B Posted April 22, 2011 Author Share Posted April 22, 2011 It is a size 8 I think. I will ask her later and yes it can be and has been modelled. I will see if I can get her to give me the photos so I can upload them. Martin :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
