I am making a dress out of trash bags.  My dress won’t be your typical loosely draped, tied up and duct taped trash bag dress.  I won’t be using duct tape at all.  My dress will be white with pink and purple layers. I’ll also be using a “scrunching” technique to create tutu-like ruffles and 2 flowers.  Best of all – no sewing!  I”m going to use a plastic fusion technique to create a custom textile.

As I go along I’ll post some pics and even write a how to article so you can make your own designer trash bag dress.

I’ve already fused together 6 panels of white trash bags and experimented with bubble wrap.   Which, if you are curious looks like the photo below when it is fused with a purple trash bag.

I’m looking for a handful of mom bloggers who’d be willing to be a part of a group interview to discuss the challenges we face as parents to keep our kids safe and morally grounded as new technology becomes more and more a part of our kid’s and family’s lives.   If you would like to be a part of the discussion please leave a comment or click here to send me an email.
