Unique art as gum wrapper dress
Weaving a gum wrapper prom dress is an art form often referred to as Tramp Art, or sometimes Prison Art. On prisontalk.com you’ll read about George Vargas, an ex con, who learned how to make picture frames with cigarette packages by folding them into chains of rectangles and threading them together.
He did this to help pass the time during his 60 day sentence for heroin possession. After leaving the joint, he learned how to use Mexican weaving to make some instant money by turning snack bags into handbags. After cutting the bags into strips, he would fold and hook them in a way that would create dizzying patterns out of bar codes. He learned how to make cloud-like designs from the popcorn pictures on Smartfood bags. Cheetos packages were bent into bright blazes of orange and yellow. Think about just what it would look like with a Vargas gum wrapper prom dress.
Using gum wrapper prom dress as a pay day?
Rasmuson’s gum wrapper prom dress might lead to a bright future in fashion. Vargas' Prison Art has designer handbags for as much as $ 200.
He uses the skills he found in prison to make a trust fund for his daughter and to support a substance abuse prevention program in his town. With college slowly getting more costly, Rasmuson's gum wrapper prom dress can be a great way to make cash now, or to pay for her education – unless she gets rich building an empire on her own.
