Dress from packages

Sometimes every girl has a moment when she craves to escape from the routine of everyday life and to take the soul away with something unusual and memorable. And then any carnival or a costume festival can become a good idea. But what should I wear for such an event? We offer to your attention a master class "how to make a dress from cellophane bags, as well as from garbage bags".

Instructions to the dress from the garbage bags

Prepare the materials:

Let's get to work.

  1. On paper, draw a sketch of the dress and calculate all your dimensions.
  2. From white packages cut for yourself that part where there are no inscriptions and drawings.
  3. All the cut off white cellophane sheets are folded together between the two layers of the newspaper and walk along them with a metal iron, standing at around 4-5, carefully, make sure that the cellophane under the newspaper does not melt, but just stuck together.
  4. After cellophane became "layered" and single we delete the newspaper.
  5. We fold the cellophane in half and draw half of the top part of the dress on one of the halves. Gently cut out the entire tip and again glue the area with those iron that suddenly broke up.
  6. Now you need to glue together 3 black bags. Do not forget to remove them from the seams beforehand. If the bags are very dense, then the temperature of the iron can be slightly increased.
  7. Let's get on the belt. Take the prepared bright package and already in a known way, glue both of its halves.
  8. We pass to the connection of the upper part. Fold together the upper part and the bright belt and also with the iron glue them.
  9. Take one of the prepared black bags, which will be the front part of the skirt, and make creases on it.
  10. Most likely, you already guessed that now we will glue together the finished top of the dress and skirt, on which neatly, for the time being, nothing is fixed, folds are collected.
  11. On the dress bodice we disguise the ugly edges. To do this, make cuts and, wrapping them inside, iron it with an iron.
  12. Let's move on to the decor. Already in a well-known way, we decorate an almost ready dress with any cellophane pattern you like.
  13. Cut out the second available black piece of the back of the dress and connect it with the front. From above make a small incision - there will soon be a lacing - which also needs to be ironed.
  14. We make cuts and insert a cord into them.
  15. From the remnants of black cellophane, make a strap and attach it to the top of the dress. Everything, the work is finished.

Agree, the resulting homemade dress from the garbage bags looks interesting and unusual. Spending a few hours making this thing, you will definitely become the star of any carnival.

Also, a very original dress can be made from newspapers .
