Do you want to make an elegant and original dress in a couple of hours from garbage bags, packages of chips, newspapers? Make sure it's possible. Not everyone will understand what such a garment is made of. Even close up, a black garbage bag dress looks like a latex one or made of leather.
DIY bag dress
Such evening dresses can be mastered very quickly. Take a black garbage bag with a capacity of 120 liters. For the first sample, you need to cut the bag from the bottom and put it on yourself. To make it fit snugly at the top, tie it here with the lacing.
For such models, it is better to take garbage bags with ties. You can position them on top or bottom. With the second option, you will get a balloon skirt. It remains to put on a wide belt, and the dress from the packages is ready. In this one you can come to a theme party, to a school ball. Sometimes in educational institutions contests are held for dresses made with their own hands from scrap materials. This will become just a way out of the situation at the carnival, since almost nothing is needed to create it, but it is done very quickly.
For the second model, the bag is draped with tape at the top and bottom. The shoulder of the third dress is the corner of the bag. It is worn asymmetrically and is also draped with tape. The rest of the new items shown in the photo, you will create in the same way from the same material.
If you only have 10 minutes of time, plus:
- garbage bag with strings;
- scissors;
- desire to make a new thing.
Then turn the bag over with the strings down, carefully cut a larger hole in its bottom (for the head), and two smaller ones on both sides - for the hands. Put on a new thing, tie the lacing at the bottom, and you can flaunt in a dress made with your own hands.
Lush evening dress
If you have a T-shirt that matches cellophane, use it to create the top. Then attach it to her sleeves with an invisible one, or sew a flower made with your own hands from scraps of packages. To do this, you will need a cellophane tape 8–12 cm wide, about 50 cm long. Fold it in half lengthwise so that the upper tier is shorter than the lower one, collect the tape on a thread.
Make sure that the thread does not jump out. To do this, fold it in half, make an impressive knot, thread a needle between the two sections of the thread. When you have sewn the entire ribbon, carefully tighten, cut the thread and tie 2 pieces of it into a knot. The flower is ready. You can sew a skirt from bags of any size. If they are small, inflate each one, tie the top with a knot. Use a large trash bag to make a straight or slightly flared skirt. Tape each bag to the top of the bag. If the base of the skirt is fabric, sew with a needle and thread.
Large garbage bags will also add pomp to an extravagant outfit. First inflate the bottom of the bag, then twist it, tie it into a knot. Inflate the next, upper sector. Tie it too to separate it from the next, third part. Then attach the entire chain of inflated sectors of the bag to the base.
It is not necessary to make the new thing black. If you have blue bags, you get an equally chic outfit.

Here's what you get.
Please note that the side and top seams on the bag must be left, then the apron will be solid on the shoulders and on the sides and will hold well.
Newspaper dress
Here is another option for making an outfit from improvised means.
Such a dress from newspapers looks great, and a girl in this attire will become a decoration of a school ball, any other holiday. It will take a little longer to make new clothes than for previous cellophane models, but it's worth it. Here are the materials you will use in your work:
- newspapers;
- thin Velcro;
- belt;
- pencil;
- long ruler;
- sewing accessories.
A dress made of paper consists of two large parts: a shelf with an upper skirt and a lower skirt. Let's start with the first one. For her you need 8 newspapers. They need to be expanded, folded in pairs to make 4 large blanks.
We take the first one and start making counter folds on it. Step back 1.5 cm from the edge, fold it over, turn over the newspaper and fold the next strip 2.5 cm wide.
Now turn the sheet over again and make a fold 1, 25 cm wide. Thus, arrange the entire first double newspaper. Iron it with a not very hot iron or carefully with your hand to show the folds well. Here's how to do pleating on paper.
Next, attach the workpiece to yourself or to the model on which you are sewing a dress, mark the waist line, sew along this marking on a sewing machine.
In the same way, make parts from the rest of the newspapers, folded in pairs, and sew the blanks along the side seam to each other.
Put on the resulting mini-dress, tie it with a belt. Pin off the folds at the top with a pin, draw a line for the neckline.
Sew the folds first along the top of the newspaper, then along the neckline and trim off any excess with scissors.
Now try on this part again, draw the line of the armhole, cut along the marking.
To make a self-made dress fit well, button up and sit firmly, sew a long Velcro back to one half of the back and to the other too. Make the skirt straight by cutting off the excess.
Now measure the length of the straps, cut them out of a strip of newspaper folded across in half. At the junction, bend another 5–7 mm on each side for a seam, sew.
Sew the straps to the front and back, first trying on and basting with a pin.
The top of the outfit and the skirt are ready.
Now you need to sew a petticoat, then the paper dress will be lush and of the desired length. To do this, expand the newspapers in one layer. Sew each one down the top, random folds. When the first newspaper runs out, take the second one, put it on the previous one by 10 cm, also stitch the folds over the top, then use another newspaper. Take as many of them as you need to sew the petticoat.
Gently fold the newspapers stitched on top and sew again, stepping back 1 cm from the seam made.
Sew Velcro on top and edge on one side and on the other so that the underskirt can be easily put on and off.
Next, fold the newspaper several times 10 cm wide to cut out a tight belt. Sew it along the entire length on one side and the other, sew Velcro on the ends, after which the belt is ready and the dress from newspapers, made by hand, too, is ready.
Another style of outfit from newspapers
Such an extravagant outfit will be indispensable for a Halloween themed party.
For the top, you need to cut the double newspaper so that it covers the bodice and stitch it to it, cutting off the excess. The corset will become both the belt and the top of the dress. To make a skirt, you will need to roll many paper bags from newspapers, securing the corner of each with a stapler so that the paper does not unfold. Now, using the same tool, connect the bags together to make a skirt.
The base of the dress can be sewn from fabric, from double newspaper or from a trash bag. Bags are attached to these materials with a stapler or tape, which soon turn into a fluffy long skirt. Paper will also help to make a large collar. Place several newspapers on top of each other, cut a circle out of them. Find its center, cut a round hole inside, slightly larger than the diameter of the neck. Now make a cut from it to the edge of the circle, unfold the blanks. Attach paper bags between them. Sew one side of the collar to the left and the other to the right bodice.
In conclusion, you need to make an original flower out of paper, nails from newspapers, and the outfit of a charming vampire or other fabulous lady is ready.
Modern Chips Outfits
This is also not difficult to do. If you have an unnecessary T-shirt, an old but favorite dress - these things will serve as a basis.
Wash the chip bags and stitch them onto your old dress.
If you are using a T-shirt, first cut the underskirt out of the fabric, sew to it, and then attach the bags to the base. They can be sewn on by turning on the inside. Then the dress from the packages will turn out to be monochromatic and shiny. If you want, match the pattern by attaching packages of the same color in rows or in a different order. Here's what you can do then.
You can make the skirt more lush by attaching a rustling container that has been previously inflated and tied with rubber bands.
Another option: cut the bags on the side, stitch them together on a typewriter, creating a solid canvas. Now you can create a dress from it using a pattern or drape bags at your discretion, fastening the canvas with Velcro on the back.
Such original outfits can be quickly created from the material that is always at hand. Such a dress will cost a penny, but it will look extravagant and chic!
