Innovative Project - Coke Tabs Dress |
|
|
 |
|
|
|
|

|
The idea behind this project was to create a garment out of a material that is not normally used as a "fabric" for clothing. I used the pull tabs from soda cans. I connected each tab with jewelry jump rings. I learned that by connecting some of the tabs in an "X" formation, the garment could have the ability to stretch like a knit. The results of my design became a sort of armor lingerie. Other materials used by my class included gelatin, corn husks, film, and metal screen.
