Thrifting is such a great way to re-use old items and materials without having to break the bank. Not to mention, you can always make alterations and touch-ups to refashion things the way you want. Why buy things brand new when there are plenty of things that you can recycle and give a new home? Sometimes, all it takes is a fresh coat of paint or a few stitches to give something new life.
Took a break from studying today to look for some pretty colored tees at a local thrift shop plaza to make more headbands. Ended up with some pretty neat finds!
Antique cream and coral print dining chair, $8.50
Vintage pink ballgown, $7.00
Vintage lavender ballgown, $7.00
The pink ballgown had some stains in the back, so I tried spraying a hefty amount of Shout Spray and Wash on the stains. The dresses were photographed while being hung to dry after going through the wash several times. (Surprisingly, they don't look wet at all!)
coool post!
