The Paper Dress



You know that I'm always looking for new ways to use existing things- whether it's tools, an everyday item, or something not related to the use that I've found. It's my own twist on the Reduce, Reuse & Recycle way of living.

I'm particularly impressed with this gorgeous paper dress made by Jolis Paons out of telephone book paper.

Yes, you read this correctly.

She pleated, sewed and glued everything by hand for her creative processes class. Isn't it a lovely visual reminder not just to throw away the book, but to use it creatively instead ?

  1. I hate to date myself, but there was a time when wearing paper dresses was a rage! I owned one myself. It was fun, but in the end, it went into the garbage. That was before recycling.
