That old saying “turning trash into treasure” is usually used quite loosely, because the people who say that are usually doing something like refinishing furniture or renovating a house.
Listen beautiful relax classics on our Youtube channel.
But crafty seamstress Emily Seilhamer wanted to see if she could literally turn trash into treasure so she collected over ten thousand Starburst wrappers and turned them into a sweet dress.
Here’s how Emily created her kooky and colorful Starburst dress:
I’ve been saving Starburst wrappers diligently (with the help of friends and family) for 4 years to create this dress. After enough were saved I organized them into colors, ironed them, folded them into links, and made candy wrapper chains.
With the use of elastic thread, I was able to sew the links together into a “fabric” to create the dress. My husband and I met when he offered me a pack of Starburst a few years before the project started. As his favorite candy he began to save grocery bags full of wrappers for me… The dress had a nice spot next to the gift table at our wedding almost 2 years ago!
