Despite the abundance of diverse tissues, manyCraftswomen and pulls to create something of unusual materials - plastic bags, bags, even make dresses from newspapers. Some of these creations even get periodically to the museums of modern art, are shown at exhibitions. In principle, such a work of skill and imagination can be easily put on, for example, on Halloween. Attention and admiration will be provided absolutely for sure.
So, how to make a dress out of newspapers? First of all, we will need any unnecessary newspapers, read and used, glue, a lot of scotch, a stapler, salt and a dress, a dummy or a live model.
The first stage is preparatory.After all, make dresses from newspapers is not easy. We take the newspapers prepared in advance, cut them all into stripes ten centimeters wide, and fold them longitudinally four times to make the paper thicker and much stronger. Now we call on our live model (we take a mannequin or measure everything on a different dress) and put two stripes on her shoulders, like epaulets. Send two more elements to the hollow between the breasts at an angle of forty-five, to make a classic neckline in the shape of the letter “V”. We wind the other end of the stripes around the shoulders or neck to form the neck of the dress. We all stick together with a stapler or a simple glue. We take two more pieces of paper and wrap the model under our arms, forming the basis for the sleeves. The ends of the strips are attached to epaulets.
Dresses from newspapers need something to fasten. For this purpose, we are preparing a special mixture of PVA glue and plain water. Add two tablespoons of salt to it, mix well.
The base under the dress is already there.Now we take long strips, lower them into the solution and apply around the body so that part of the back and neck remain open. Layers of newspapers should be no more than four. All leave to dry out. We take out the scissors, cut them in the back (in the back of our bodice), pierce the holes for lacing and leave them to dry. We select long stripes and add them vertically to the base, simply repeating the natural forms of a live model or a favorite dress. The ends of the strips must be glued together or stitched, to whom it is convenient. To make the dress longer, just add more and more elements.
Платья из газет можно делать самые разные:straight, sunshine, with wedges, even with the likeness of a crinoline. If you want to create a skirt in the fold, you need to fold the newspaper sheets so that they turn out to be an accordion (that is, alternate in different directions). It will take about twenty sheets. Sewing or gluing them together, we attach all this to the already prepared corset (by the way, you can also use tape). From the inside, all the dress must be taped to make it stronger and not let the newspapers burst. It is better to make several layers of adhesive tape around the neck, hem and waist, so it’s safer. In places of connections and breaks, it is also worth strengthening the dress with the help of the same adhesive tape.
Платья из газет (фото демонстрируют это очень it is clear) they seem light, weightless, they seem to be easily broken. In fact this is not true. To strengthen the product is applied on top of a layer of varnish or glue. So the paper will not smudge the skin, will not be able to get wet and tear. However, you still need to wear this outfit carefully and with outside help. Various tinsel, sparkles, stickers, bows are quite suitable for decoration. Wear should be carefully, beware of water, strong wind, fire and sudden movements.
