Happy after Halloween!



Looking for something to do with all of those candy wrappers leftover from Halloween? Try this trick from your Halloween treats – turn the wrappers into wearable gems. You can find the complete DIY over at the eco-fancy eco-fashion site Ecouterre.

Below is a pic of my own upcycled Halloween costume. I'm a Designer Bag Lady - the dress, purse, bracelet, and headband are all made from plastic bags. The dress turned out to be way more comfortable than I expected. Who new plastic bags could be so wearable? Any guesses as to how many plastic bags do you think it took to make my dress? I'll give you a hint - it's 3 bags thick all over.

Hi. Thanks for the link. I'm every year concerned what to do with so many wrappers. I usually sort them into plastic or paper wrappers but most of them were plastic. And I like that idea of turning them into gems. Btw you look great in that costume. I would never say that it is made from plastic bags and I don't know the number but I think that you've used a lot of them.

Good luck,
Ella
