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!
Love it!
ReplyDeleteIt is beautiful!!! That's one of my favorite colors. You have such talent! Hug my sweet Calvin for me. SC
ReplyDeleteI love how you take thrift store finds and remodel them. How do you cut you straw hats? Can you maybe show how you do this? I would love to do this myself.
ReplyDeletewow that's amazing! I agree with Patience, a tutorial would be much appreciated :) and also could you take some pictures of you wearing the hats and bonnets? I would like to see what they look like on someone :)
