Altered Bra. Pretty enough to wear!
I showed a couple of sneak peeks before of my project that I was working on, but was afraid to show all of the photos because I had entered a contest and didn’t want to break the rules. But the contest was over yesterday (I don’t know if I won or not), so I figured it was safe now to show you. I made this for a contest for Breast Cancer Awareness month in honor of my aunt Teresa, who is currently battling the disease and has been to hell and back with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation. This thing was truly a labor of love. It took 2-1/2 bottles of Prima flowers from the Got Flowers line, which apparently nobody sells anymore. What?!? I had to buy them from e-bay. (I love e-bay) I stuck every one of those pink flowers on there by hand. I started with glue dots, except I ran out of glue dots and then started using some clear liquid glue, and then I ran out of THAT, and had to start using Mod Podge. After the flowers were all glued on, then I glued on each little jewel in the center of the flowers. Some of the flowers I put a dot of Stickles glitter glue in the middle (in 3 different colors) instead of a jewel just to add a bit of variety. My fingers were cramped and I could barely move them when I was finished!
My friend Klo suggested that it was so pretty I should pose with it on and take a photo for my husband. I said, Um, I think the fat stomach that I’ve been growing right UNDER the bra might detract from the prettiness of the bra!
