The Goddess models a Recycled Halloween Costume
MATERIALS NEEDED
- White Garbage Bags
- Red Plastic Bags
- Smoke Color Garment Plastic Bags from Dry Cleaner
- White Covered Wire
- Twine
- A White Tank Top
- A White Skirt
- Staple Gun
- Safety Pins
Note: The hat is a vintage (1960) straw. The Goddess of Garbage pinned one large plastic red and black rose on it.
HERE’S HOW
- Tank Top: Fan bags and gather, then staple from bottom up, tier and overlap each layer.
- Bow: Gather white plastic bag in middle (almost like tying a bow) and drape over shoulder.
- Neckline: Braid strips of smoke colored plastic with twine and white covered wire. Staple around neckline.
- Skirt: Fan bags and gather, then staple from bottom up. Tier and overlap each layer.
- Roses: Cut strips of red plastic, gather and staple in a circular motion. Safety pin rosettes in a scattered pattern throughout the bottom portion of the skirt. You may also put one at the center of top.
- Belt: Cut strips (large) of white plastic bags to make a long belt. This will serve as a cumberbund. Make it much longer than waist size so that it can be tied in back with a big bow. Take twine and wrap it around waist and allow it to trail down front of dress with two black plastic roses.
