Yesterday, I went with a friend to try on wedding dresses for her upcoming wedding early next year. Today's project is inspired by all the extravagant dresses I saw yesterday at the shop.
First I used nude colored construction paper to draw the girl's head and upper body, then I have Sophie glue it at the top, center of a portrait black construction paper.
Next, I used a pink construction paper to outline the dress for the girl and then cut it out using scissors and have Sophie glue it to the girl's body.
Just as is, I think it's already looking pretty good, but we're going to make it even fancier.
By using leftover gift tissue paper, I found a pale pink and a hot pink combo that could go well together. I cut up the tissue papers into rough squares, then from the bottom up, I have Sophie glue the tissue squares one at a time until she reached the waist line of the girl's dress.
Tah-dah! It's almost finished.
Using the same method, we tried for a purple dress.
A slightly different way of scissor works, but still simple enough to complete.
Sophie said she wanted to add polka dots to the dress. I love watching her when she's working in full concentration. ^_^
For the final touch, she wanted to add some jewels as decoration.
Here are the final products:
