Today I completed the next element of my costume, I began with an old dancing skirt and upcycled it. This involved old arial wire, insulation tubing, off cuts of wire and beads!
I began the upcycling by tacking the arial wire around the hem of the skirt, this gave the skirt an element of shape which helped to hold it in place whilst I attached the insulation tubing.
The next stage was to tack the star constellations onto the skirt, I made these by bending small pieces of wire and threading star beads to form the constellation shapes. Before this I spent some time researching into star constellations.
