I Made A Purse And Heels To Match The Dress Made Of 10k Starburst Wrappers

I made a matching purse from 2,000+ Starburst wrappers and new heels with 200+ wrappers per shoe to match this dress made of 10,000+ Starburst wrappers.

Both fully functional. Glad to finally be “wrapping” up this project!

I’ve been saving Starburst wrappers diligently (with the help of friends and family) for 4 years to create this dress. After enough were saved I organized them into colors, ironed them, folded them into links, and made candy wrapper chains.
With the use of elastic thread, I was able to sew the links together into a “fabric” to create the dress. My husband and I met when he offered me a pack of Starburst a few years before the project started. As his favorite candy he began to save grocery bags full of wrappers for me…

The dress had a nice spot next to the gift table at our wedding almost 2 years ago!

Over 2,000 wrappers went into the purse and over 200 wrappers per shoe! Made from Starburst candy wrappers and a new corsage from the bag.They were made to match the Starburst wrapper dress after the company sent us a giant jar as a thank you. Even then I still had to use some of my old stash and buy some new colors to complete the look!
