Thousands of girls around the country are spending hundreds of dollars to get glamorous and elegant prom dresses, but a Wisconsin teen’s mom has made her daughters’ dress, and she made it out of Starburst candy wrappers.
Tara Frey poses in her Starburst candy wrappers dress for her high school prom, which this year has a “Candyland” theme in River Falls, Wis. Each wrapper has been folded eight times and pressed with tweezers for a tight weave. It’s the work of Tara’s mother, Kerrin, and a few of her friends. Kerrin Frey says she got the idea from a mother who started weaving gum wrappers during her children’s hockey games.
