I am constantly amazed by the huge and apparently endless variety of creative accomplishments I see on the Internet. The Skittle Wrapper Prom dress is one of those amazing things that I never would have seen without the wonderful world of blogs. I first saw this on the Craft Gossip Blog Network. The dress is made entirely of Skittles candy wrappers. It is a stunning dress, beautifully designed and executed, and truly original. It looks very well made, too. The young lady who made it for her prom dress is simply a genius. Please follow the link below to see photos of this VERY COOL dress and to read more about her process and, of course, the prom. Note the matching shoes, too. Everything about this outfit is so inventive. I am particularly impressed by the way she acquired her materials. WOW!

Reading about the dress led me to look at more candy wrapper art, which was a delightful journey in itself. I've seen small candy wrapper handbag at a local eco clothing store. They were too small for me (I like a roomy bag) and not inexpensive either. It turns out that there are lots of websites with tutorials on how to make these bags and other accessories from all sorts of wrappers. Here are just a few. I'm wondering about trying the weaving technique with fabric strips.

Fun, interesting, plus an excellent and very responsible reason to eat more candy!!!
