Junk Koture

In home economic class all the TYs have been working hard on their Junk Koture projects.For our project we have to make an outfit out of recycled materials;my group decided to use old CDs,wires,music sheets and tapes.
We decided to make a dress and accessories.The base of our dress is made of chicken wire then we covered the top with newspaper and sheets of music;to make it tie in with our chosen theme which is music.This week we were focusing on the skirt of our dress.We found that it's really hard to make CDs stick together and onto cardboard;we ended up using double sided tape,which in my opinion is the coolest thing ever invented!Eventually we got the CDs stuck onto the dress in vertical stripes and we are going to use the insides of old tapes to fill in the gaps between the strips of CDs.
To make the top of our dress match the bottom we broke up CDs and stuck the on in a stripe and cut a Cd in half to make it look like a bow!Our dress is really coming together now.We only have six weeks left before our first fashion show so we have to work really hard to get everything done in time.
Next week we are going to try get the shoes done.We have on shoe painted black but we still have to decide on a design.
