How creative? She went to prom in a dress she made from can drinks tab.

This beauty comes with brains! According to her, she had the inspiration from her favourite cartoon movie. Read what she had to say about her beutiful dress.

This is a dress I made solely from can-tabs and ribbon. I got the idea out of the duct-tape prom outfits. I wanted to do something like that, but different.

This all started when I was in 7th grade and I made a cool little bracelet out of can-tabs. It was a 4/10, assuming my dress is the 10. In 8th grade, I decided to collect more can-tabs so I could make a necklace. Unfortunately, and I shit you not, the guy from the famous butt rocket video stole it and lost it.

During this time, I saw an episode of Braceface where she's in high school and she meets some guy who was making a dress out of can-tabs, and that's where I got the idea. The thing is, it's easier to make a can-tab dress as a cartoon. In 9th grade, a girl in my class had a can-tab bracelet, made different from the one I'd made 2 years prior. She asked me to fix it for her. I don't know why -I- was the one chosen or if I just gave off the aura of creative/smart/whatever enough to fix it. That's when I figured out it was going to look like the top part of the dress you see here.

While I was in Colombia that summer, I figured out to make the bottom of the dress like you see here. That would prove to be not my best idea as it was very difficult to sit. It wasn't until late December-early January that I would find procrastination to be the final boss. I worked incessantly making the strands for the skirt and the strands for the top. There were 53 strands on the skirt and 21 for the top. I finished making the dress 2 days before prom (May 22. My friend's birthday was on prom night). I got a free prom key-chain picture thing because the photographer fellow wanted to take a picture so he could show his daughter, but since they came in pairs, I got to keep one of them. In the months following that I was interviewed by my local newspaper, the newspaper from the town over, and a Colombian radio station.
