May I ask: are you adding cardboard, plastic and foil decorations onto existing formals OR
are you creating formals out of cardboard, plastic and foil???
I have a lot of experience but I want to be sure I understand what you have to start with and the goal you wish to achieve?!!
After reading the other suggestions, I am guessing that You are the one woman committee to make fancy dresses out of cardboard, plastic and foil, so here goes my answer.
collect adult t-shirts, and then as much gaudy stuff as possible, things like large beaded necklaces and other jewelry, scarves, hats, boas ... all brightly colored. Using the t-shirts as a foundation attach (with needle and threat) the recyled bobbles, cardboard flowers, hawaiian plastic liehs, foil decorations etc. When I had to do something of a similar nature I asked a bunch of the neighborhood kids to help - they were very creative with the correct placement. They were dress-up age and did a wonderful job. Good luck. 0% 0 Votes -
I would like to help you, but am not sure what you want. Are you going to be decorating already made dresses or be making them out of the 3 choices? Or are you looking for ways to recycle old dressy %26quot;fancy%26quot; dresses? I am fairly good at crafty ideas with what people would call trash LOL.

You could always cut squares of cardboard and sew them together to create a %26quot;material%26quot; and then cut out a summer dress pattern (no sleeves). Use the foil and whatever else to dress up the design (paper punches work wonderfully to punch shapes out of foil). The plastic %26quot;rings%26quot; that hold soda cans together make great bracelets and shawls - just hook them together by sewing, twist ties or taping. You just need a creative kick and then the creative juices will flow. Good luck and have fun!

a good title is bin bling. I think it%26#039;s possible to sort them into groups like the way recycling bins are, like a glass theme and cans, maybe look at Leo Dicaprio%26#039;s 11th hour my space page for inspiration.

hello
Start with a head band (wide one) wrap it with foil and glue gun it to the head band. You can also wrap a belt with foil and glue it on.
The plastic have the kids collect lids and attach them to the dress dangling.
The cardboard will be a poster saying somthing about recycle or make crowns out of cardboard.
Have fun at carnival my Mom is from Bolivia.
