We can only wish that at 18 we had been as cool as Missouri high school senior Aimee Kick, who designed her own prom dress out of unbleached paper coffee filters.

Her school newspaper wrote about the project, which took about a month to complete:

“Each and every filter is sewn onto a fabric base that I made. Most filters have multiple seams over them, save for the bodice, which was all hand sewn,” said Aimee.

At times this was a little difficult because she has never used coffee filters to make clothing, but she was very motivated to complete the challenge.

“I am very inspired to use different materials, so it was more of a stimulating challenge than a difficulty,” Aimee said.

Aimee clearly has a bright DIY future ahead of her. Plus she looked beautiful in her unique dress!
