You read that right, bridesmaid dresses turned into Christmas ornaments. Have a shoulder strap? Have the little packet of extra beads they attach to embellished gowns? Perfect! It's actually easier than you'd think.
I used a shoulder strap and fed twist ties through it to make it bend-able. I then secured the ends by twisting and hot gluing a piece of fabric around them. I then bent it into a Christmas tree, securing twice with sparkly ribbon. I used the extra beads and such to hand sew embellishments. I think it looks even cuter in person.
Wow...I need to get those dresses out of my closet and make some ornaments! I always hoped I would be able to recycle them in some way! New follower to your blog...enjoy your Wednesday :D
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to make something that's seemingly useless useful again, yes? :)
