okay, anyone out there ever been to an ABC party? It's not as dirty as it sounds- you simply have to attend wearing unconventional attire- Anything But Clothes. I have a friend attending one next weekend (not me~ parties like this are few and far between on tiny islands full of retirees!) who's in search of costume ideas. The simple solutions all come to mind- duct tape, bubble wrap, black garbage bags... but I'm trying to think of something more creative... it needs to be a basic concept, hopefully using materials from around the house, that can come to fruition inside of a week.
Okay, crafty re-users, any ideas? I'll randomly select someone from the comments to receive a found paper scrap pack from the shop- I'm chopping up new squares as I write this! (well, I was just a few minutes ago, anyway...)

Hmmm....how about an outfit made from grocery boxes. Like cereal boxes, chip bags, cracker boxes, things like that. That is the best I can do off the top of my head. It would certainly be colorful (:
coffee filters? shredded junk mail? OH! fall leaves! yes, fall leaves (big ones).
Thanks for your comments! I'll be getting in touch with you about your scrap packs.
Oh, and if you're curious... my friend (a photographer) ended up fashioning a toga from long strips of negatives. The crowning touch was a choker made from said negatives...It was amazing!
