In 2010, a junior high school student in Iowa, Elizabeth Rasmuson, chose to make her own prom dress — and she did so using nothing but Five brand chewing gum wrappers.
First, Rasmuson made a pattern for the dress, but she said the most time-consuming part of the process was flattening all of the wrappers and cutting off the ends.
She then used a combination of iron-on interfacing and quilting before topping the dress off with a vinyl finish to prevent cracking.
“I heard about somebody making a dress out of duct tape or something one time so I just was like what’s something cool and I’ve always liked the colors of the ‘Five’ gum,” she told The Associated Press.
With the help of her boyfriend, Jordan, Rasmuson collected specific colors of the gum, doled it out to friends, and kept the wrappers in a safe place. The dress is comprised of so many wrappers that she lost track after 200.
Taking her prom look an extra step further, Rasmuson even created a matching vest for Jordan.
The couple were all smiles as they headed off to prom in their unique creations.
Elizabeth’s mother, Dawn, was impressed that her daughter was so willing to put herself out there and really stand out… especially with an event as special as prom.
“In today’s world, a lot of the girls are just worried about fitting in and being like the next girl,” she said.
