Trending Now - 4 Years And 10 000+ Starburst Candy Wrappers Went Into This Dress

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!

A total of 10 000+ Starburst candy wrappers went into it

By painting underwear elastic to match the colors of the wrappers I was able to seal the edges and insert a zipper

Can’t forget the matching shoes!
