Recycling Gets Festive

by Noel on November 17th, 2006

Think you have had enough of garbage?Hannah Kramm, who is 16, seems to think so. That is why she has decided to turn garbage and those pieces of junk into something fashionable. Some things she has already done?

  • A shiny red bodice from a deflated air mattress
  • A skirt made from an old surface of a trampoline
  • Earrings made from broken headphones

    • Oh, Hannah was awarded the first place in the Trash Fashion and Costume Contest held at the El Museo Cultural. The contest was part of the Recycle Santa Fe Art Festival. The show held more than twenty different outfits made from various pieces of junk.

    Aside from Hannah’s contributions, other odds and ends turned into something fashionable include:

  • A dress topped with dozens and dozens of gelato spoons colored pink and green
  • A dress made from recycled cupcake wrappers
  • Dresses and camisoles made from crocheted plastic bags
  • A dress’ bustle made from yellow and blue bags that packs the New York Times paper
