Upcycled Prom Decor Roundup

Image
  Our friend Kate caught us examining something at Prom Chris and I have both been feeling a little under the weather, so we haven't been terribly productive over the last week or two, but I thought you might appreciate a run down of all we did in preparation for Promdemonium. As promised, here is the full how-to for the party clothes party lights .   In addition to the vintage clothing lamps, we also made a bunch of other decorations: -Pop-up paper flowers like these and giant bows (large versions of this ) from phone book pages, magazines and old architectural plans - Paper pompoms from phone book pages -Toilet paper roll art like this , but we used a glue gun to put them together faster and then we spray painted them fun colours -Fabric bunting (as mentioned here ) -Silhouettes cut out of used contractor bags - I wish I would have gotten a good picture of these as they looked incredible in all the windows. We first took photos of the Prom volunteers in funny part

It's not every day that my crafts get mentioned in the Citizen

Promdemonium was amazing! Chris and I are still recovering from all the fun (and hard work). I was so busy partying that I forgot to take pictures of all the fantastic decorations we worked on, but luckily some other folks have posted great photos and the official photo booth pictures should be up soon.

If you're curious about how we made the glowing prom-wear lamps, stay tuned. I've got a full instructable in the works.
