Quickly name me a type of material you'd guess this wedding gown is made from:
Silk? Satin? Nylon? Cotton?
What if i told you the entire (well, mostly) outfit was made from toilet paper?
Yes - the same paper that you used to dry your hands after washing them, the same paper that you use to wipe the unmentionables after the biologically necessary.
The Toilet Paper Wedding Dress Contest celebrates creativity and resourcefulness by getting participants to put together a wedding dress made from toilet paper. In its 7th edition now, this annual contest offers (literal) cash prizes for the most beautiful creation, judged on criteria such as: beauty, creativity, originality and the use of toilet paper.
"Bah, it's a walk in the park. How hard can it be to make a dress out of toilet paper?"
2011 1st Prize Winner - Susan Brennan (who walked away with USD$1,000.00)
4 rolls of TP + hot glue + tape + flowers, feathers, pleats
2nd Prize Winner - Laura Lee (now USD$500.00 richer)
 |
| 5 rolls of TP + duct tape + first aid tape + spray adhesive |
3rd Prize Winner - Cynthia Richards (pocketing USD$250.00)
 |
| 20(!) rolls of TP + duct tape + lots of different glues |
Oh, and if you were thinking it's probably contest with only 3 entries - Cheap-Chic-Weddings (the contest sponsor) recorded almost 1000 different dress entries!
Who needs a USD$20,000.00 Vera Wang creation when you can have any of these to adorn you on your wedding day.
