Bubble Wrap Couture

Flat Stanley had the envy-producing ability to travel the world by being mailed in letters, and now with this Bubble Wrap Couture dress, you, too, can be United States Postal Service-friendly!
I'm slightly kidding, of course, but only slightly.
Last night, after work, two of my uber-creative coworkers and I wanted to have an arts and crafts project. We were going to go to Michael's to buy beads and crystals to make decorative knee-socks (which will be seen in an upcoming post!), but, alas, Sunday nights suck for retail.
We settled for Target, which was somehow open, but there were no beads. After scouring the aisles for about 20 minutes, we passed some bubble wrap, and someone came up with the brilliant idea to make a Bubble Wrap Couture dress!
Enjoy the visuals, kids.

Sketching plans for the dress.

The corset back!

And the finished product! Eat your heart out, Lady Gaga.

Love the matching cuff we made!

I'm in absolute shock at how wonderfully this Bubble Wrap dress finished up.
The night felt a bit like Project Runway, the challenge being to make a dress out of three materials: bubble wrap, duct tape, and ribbon.
Tim Gunn would be proud.

Hope you guys love the BWC dress!
