This is me in a paper dress I wore to a paper wedding anniversary party.
Yes, sorry its a JPG, so you won't be able to cut-paste.
But it was the easiest way to beat the spammers.
Anyway . . . this is me on the right . . . in a paper dress, with a cardboard handbag.
I got the dress pattern from here.
And below is how I made my beautiful ensemble.
-
- First I printed it out on four sheets of A4 and made it just to work out how to fold it. Heres the bodice . . .
-
- And heres the bodice with the skirt. The next step would be to sew them together but instead I moved on to a bigger version.
-
- I then printed each sheet of the pattern onto 3x3 sheets of A4, glued them together and cut the pattern out. Heres the bodice
-
- Anyway, i could only just get into that so I printed out the four sheets on 4x4 A4 . . . here they are
-
- Heres one sheet before I stuck it together . . .
-
- . . . and here it is stuck together.
-
- Heres it ready to cut out. The edges reinforced with masking tape.
-
- I drew a skull and took a photo of it.
-
- I made a polka dot pattern from it. Printed it out on A3 and made big sheets of it by gluing the A3 together.
-
- I stuck the reverse side of the cut out patterns to these sheets with spray glue. Heres the front of the bodice made up.
-
- Heres the polka dot pattern for the skirt.
-
- Heres the skirt being built.
-
- Here is the bodice and skirt before I sewed them together.
-
- And here is the finished product.
-
- Ive also made a handbag to go with my paper dress. Heres how. First a took a cereal packet
-
- I cut the bottom off.
-
-
I strengthened the bottom bit with cardboard.
-
- Pasted a skull pattern on it.
-
- Sprayed the inside black and put handles made of glued up paper strips on it.
-
- Here it is in action.
-
- And here is the final design that I took to the party.
-
- And very useful it was to for holding my phone, camera and beer.
Hello Simon.
We met in a field in Cambridgeshire at the begining of last month, you were filming the PPFST Festival at Wysing. How is the film coming along? I look forward to seeing the finished product.
