Re-Vibe Fashion Show

I am in this class (Dress & Humanity) that for one of our assignments we had to make a garment from recycled materials.... Of course, the first thing that came to my mind was Coke cans. We have plenty of those lying around our house. Shawn is what you would call a 'sipper' he sips his Coke and somehow half full Coke cans end up in obscure corners of our house. Therefore I came up with a plan to create a dress from Coke cans.... soon after starting I realized I would never have enough cans for an entire dress. This is when digging in the recycle bins at the Taggart Student Center came in handy. We transformed ourselves into homeless people (slightly embarrassing). <-- That is Step 1

ANYWHO- here are the pictures of the birth of my dear little dress

Step 2- Wash the cans

Step 3- Cut the cans 

                                      

Step 4- Attach the cut pieces to the dress

Finally! A dress! HA- This was during the 2nd fitting process... somehow when I attached the final cans on top it shrunk a little... oops! haha As Erin was squeezing into it she said it was like coming out of the birth canal.... haha 

 

VICTORY! She made it in!

Erin rockin' the runway

These were my other favorites

That white dress in the middle was made out of coffee filters- SO amazing, and the one to the right was made out of paper plates and lunch sacks. People are just so creative.

Anywho, the fashion show was great, and we all lived happily ever after
