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!
More info: Facebook
I used every single wrapper from this jar plus some from my old stash for the accessories
200 candy wrappers in one shoe
A purse

Load More Replies...Holy c**p this is awesome! Actually wearable and a fashion statement. I especially want that bag!
It's a really interesting art project: special dress for special kind of personality, because I think that people, to whom the dress might suit so perfectly really count on the fingers of the two hands.
That's so pretty! Have any people asked where to buy one? :p Have you made any other pieces of wearable art?
lol someone wanted a pair of shorts...I said to get me wrappers and in maybe another 5 years I could have them done! xD Yes I do! I do all sorts of things including wearable art pieces. https://www.facebook.com/EmilySeilhamerArt/
Load More Replies...I'm amazed! What beautiful work! But.....is it comfortable to wear?
Not uncomfortable...but definitely heavier than the average dress! It's smooth like snakeskin
Load More Replies...So fun and creative! You obviously out a lot of thought into each piece, and I love how the shoes turned out! Does the dress have a lining underneath, or is it just the Starburst wrappers?
I thought about a lining but decided against it because it wasn't needed. The wrappers were smooth like snakeskin, however I DID wear an under shirt and shorts underneath to be safe!
Load More Replies...WOW! A-MAZING! Is your stuff on display at Ripley's Believe It Or Not Museum? Cuz if not, it SHOULD be!
In fact, I just mailed it to them yesterday! Just waiting to hear where they will be displaying it :)
Load More Replies...Years ago a young lady made a Grad dress out of the yellow wrappers. I think all of this is a stroke of genius
If you research there have been many people who have used the wrappers for outfits. Starburst had a great idea when they decided to use colored wrappers!!
Load More Replies...Wow! This is amazing! Uh can I help eat some Starbursts and send the wrappers to you?
Lol thank you, but I don't want to see another wrapper in a lonnggg time after this! Time to move on to a new project :)
Load More Replies...That was a different person. A mother made a dress for her daughters prom. This is a new dress/different design. Just finished accessories to go with it! :)
Load More Replies...Hi, Wow, I saw the same thing at Replies Believe it or not! (Hollywood, L.A.) few days back. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-1378604/Tara-Freys-prom-dress-entirely-Starburst-wrappers.html IMG_201709...a588a5.jpg
1st wrapper: screams and throws all the wrappers into the bin and cries "I TRIED!!!!"
It's going to be a hard act to follow! I hope you haven't been permanently turned off from Starbursts
I don't think I'll eat any more for a long time, but not for forever! Lol
Load More Replies...Incredible!!! Great design and use of colour, and the hours of manual labour, I cannot even fathom! How did you do it?
A lot patience, candy, people to help save wrappers, and elastic thread...the rest is a blur!
Load More Replies...Lovely. Shoes, dress, purse, all lovely. I'm very impressed by your skills AND dedication! Well done.
Thank you! It was a lot of fun to work with
Load More Replies...This is the best thing ever!!! The colors and ombré look. Just absolutely incredible. How much for the purse?
Wow so impressive! I love the shoes! Is this dress comfortable to wear?

Always has to be the ONE person who enjoys s******g on someone else's amazing accomplishments. I'm glad it seems like there is only 1 negative comment but damnit people why the hell cant we be supportive of each other ESPECIALLY one woman to another??
Nice legs Emily! Btw, the amount of super creativity that you possess is a total turn on, and a very nice inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

Not enough lol. This took 5 years and most of them I folded while studying for tests in college. It was a great focus tool in a way...just like fidget spinners!
Load More Replies...That HAS to be uncomfortable!!! I can barely stand regular dresses and heels, let alone made of starburst wrappers!!!
It's smooth like snakeskin so not uncomfortable...but I'll admit it's much heavier than a normal dress!
