Trashion!!!

For my art textiles gcses I have to make a bag or pillow out of recycled stuff! I am really stuck for ideas I was thinking Jeans which would be pretty cool but I think that everyone is going to do that so i have uploaded some pictures for ideas. Please leave a comment if you have any ideas!
This bag is made out of coke can clips.very clever.
This bag is made from leather belts it's very cute and clever!

These dresses are gawjus I love them so clever and cheap! Great inspiration! There are hundreds of more pictures i could put on but for now thats it.

  2. Hi, I've just finished my high school design folios (i'm from Australia though)so I maybe I can give you a bit of advice - don't do the jeans, I reckon you could come up with something heaps more creative. You've mentioned recycled stuff, so what about making it a statement about the environment and using only things you've scavanged off the streets? If you did a pillow, it could be a statement about the conditions the homeless live in. Good luck :)

  4. Wow these are such good ideas, love that newspaper dress.
    On project Runway they had a challenge where they had to made clothes out of recycled cars, and this one guy did a really cool dress out of car seat belts.
    Good luck on the GCSE, maybe post a photo when you have finished your recycled project?
    I would love to see it!
