Elizibeth Rasmuson of Garner, Iowa right earned various attention by wearing a gum wrapper prom dress to her annual high school soiree.
She deserves just a little optimistic notoriety for the discipline to collect wrappers and creatively fashion them into an elegant evening gown. It’s not known if she actually chewed all that gum, but if she did, her gum wrapper prom dress is even more extraordinary.
Gum wrapper prom dress seems like a lot to chew on
Even the likes of Donna Karan is likely to be impressed with the fashion of Rasmuson's gum wrapper dress. Rasmuson began collecting blue and white gum wrappers with her boyfriend Jordan Weaver in August of 2009. Weaver had a gum wrapper vest that he made for himself. As reported on dailypostal.com, the idea started after making a jacket of wrappers last year and after that she decided to be unique with her dress for prom as well.
Gum wrapper prom dress: just the beginning?
A gum wrapper prom dress is quite a few work in itself, but next time perhaps Rasmuson will consider using gum wrappers to weave a chic fashion accessory, like a candy wrapper purse.
Those who have a creative streak make purses out of wrapping paper, magazines, soft drink labels, food wrappers, and candy wrappers. All it takes is a simple weaving technique that originated from Mexican paper weaving.
Gum wrapper prom dress a unique art form
Prison art, or Tramp art, is generally exactly what weaving a gum wrapper into a prom dress would be fitted into. On prisontalk.com you will read about George Vargas, an ex con, who learned how to make picture frames with cigarette packages by folding them into chains of rectangles and threading them together.
He did this to help pass the time during his 60 day sentence for heroin possession. When he got out of the joint, he learned Mexican paper weaving and started using snack bags to make handbags for instant money. After cutting the bags into strips, he would fold and hook them in a way that would create dizzying patterns out of bar codes. He learned how to make cloud-like designs from the popcorn pictures on Smartfood bags. Cheetos were turned into bent blazes of yellow and orange. Think about just what it would look like with a Vargas gum wrapper prom dress.
Gum wrapper prom dress: a big pay day?
Rasmuson may be led into a bright future with fashion after her gum wrapper prom dress. For as much as $ 200, you are able to get a designer handbag from Vargas' prison art.
He is using the cash made from this skill he learned to head a substance abuse prevention program in his hometown and to start a trust fund for his daughter. With college slowly getting more costly, Rasmuson's gum wrapper prom dress could be a fantastic way to make money now, or to pay for her education – unless she gets rich building an empire on her own.
