From Thrift to Treasure!

I found this old prom dress at a local thrift shop for $1.

While most people see a dress I see satin and chantilly lace!

Calvin was kind enough to model the dress for effect:).

Another thrift shop find was this straw hat for $2.50.

It may look like a straw hat to most but I see something more!

Calvin helped once again by modeling the hat:).

So what do you do with an old prom dress and a straw hat?

Make a bonnet, of course!

After cutting up the dress and straw hat I covered the new bonnet base with the lace and satin.

Then I added feathers, silk ribbon, flowers made from dress scraps, and a black sheer bow on the back.

And voila!

A new bonnet for less than $10!
