Recycled Project - Collar and Dress



Collar - this is ironed, white plastic bags fused together into a circular shape. The inner part of the collar is outlined with cardboard and newspaper trimming.
Necklace - this is an example of paper manipulation; long strips of cardboard and paper are cut out and wound round a pencil to make beads, which are then threaded onto a strip of old ribbon.



Bodice - this is black plastic bin bags fused together using a heat press. Tins cans are threaded onto a shoe lace to create the top of the corset as well as having scrunched up newspaper attached to the the top of the black bodice.
Skirt- the waistband is a strong peice of cardboard used to hold books together. A phonebook was used to cut out swirling patterns which were then attached to the waistband. The skirt is attached at the back with a peg.
