Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo: An Eco-friendly Dress for Cinderella


Have you ever wondered what to wear to your friend's wedding, prom, or your work Christmas party?  You want something unique and attractive, but you don't want to spend a fortune.  Some people shop at consignment or thrift stores to find that perfect outfit and to do their part to be eco-friendly.  But have you ever considered making your own dress...out of trash?!? 

There was a high school girl in the news recently, who had her mom sew her a prom dress made out of Starburst candy wrappers.  What a cute, colorful, and definitely original fashion statement.

Environmental educator Nancy Judd has created a multitude of outfits and fashion pieces out of trash and has them on display at Recycle Runway.  There are dresses made from popcans, plastic bags, junk mail, rusty nails, and many more.  Visit her website and see if you can guess what trash items are used to fabricate the various designs.  Her goal is to promote conservation and increase awareness of environmental stewardship.  Okay, so some of these clothing pieces took hundreds of hours to assemble, but it's the thought that counts, right?

What about you:  Can you figure out what Nancy Judd used to make the coat in the photo at the top of this post?
