What to do with an old bridesmaid dress?


About a year ago my best friend got married. Of course I was in her wedding as she was in mine. Everyday I saw my bridesmaid dress hanging in my closet. It was just taking up space and I had no idea what to do with it. I spent a lot of money on it, so I did not want to throw it away. I knew I would never wear again, so I thought and thought and thought. Finally, a solution came to me. I would make something out of the dress and give it to my friend Kelly. She diligently picked out these dresses so they would look perfect on all of us. Well, mine was a little full in the front because I was pregnant with Nicholas...a little side note. Anyway, after I searched the Internet for a few days, I found the perfect gift. I decided I would make a memo board. All I needed was a staple gun and few supplies from our local craft store and it would be an easy project. I am not much of a sewer and I don't even own a sewing machine so anything that involved sewing was an automatic out. I was so impressed with the finished project, I had to take a picture of it. Ladies, if you have a few bridesmaids dresses in your closet you can always make use of the fabric and create a memo board.
