A friend of us who has a company carrying oil, gave us a truck so we went to his place, where the truck was parked, to prepare it for carnival...
|
They had made holes in thousands of plastic bottle caps and put them together on a plastic line (that are used for "scoubidous")
|
All was put in bag waiting for the day... and of course they were in complete mess when opening the bags...
|
So we had to separate them... not as difficult as it may seem...
|
you only have to look for the caps that holds everything then it's okay... it took a couple of minutes anyway...
|
Then we have to fix them on the lines or rods... all around the truck...
|
... and over it... many came to help so it went kind of quick...
|
... and add the name of the group...
|
left to right : Sonia, Danielle, her sister Evelyne and a friend. Danielle is the main person who has the idea and in charge of Ti Kréol. That's her who manages the play for kids around christmas in which I participate every year... she is a singer
|
We added some more all around, and it's ready and the day. There you can see young girls wearing the costume.

Wonderful and colorful pics! I love shots of primary colors. Those sure looked like they would have been a complete nightmare to untangle! Great idea too to make costumes with bottle caps!

Fun shots... I absolutely love the way the bottle caps looks! I have a friend here who owns a place called the Scrap Box. She collects things from small manufacturing companies that they would otherwise throw out... the unused part of products they make. Then she puts it all in her "store" and resells it... mostly to art teachers and kids for making projects. A great recycling place. I'm going to show her this idea!
