Not Only Acting and Singing, Nicole Rossi is Skilled in Making Clothes from Plastic and Cardboard

Kapanlagi.com - Not only skilled in singing and acting, Nicole Rossi is also adept at designing clothes. Not just any clothes, but this time she made clothes from recycled materials such as plastic bags and used cardboard. She did this when celebrating Indonesia's 76th Independence Day some time ago. Coincidentally, her school held a competition to make clothes or costumes from recycled materials.

"Last year, I made a ballet costume from used scented plastic, and this year I thought of making a white rimple skirt + a simple red top (red on top, white below, like our flag)," Nicole said to Kapanlagi.com over a recent phone call.

The making process is quite easy. Nicole explained how she made the skirt and the top. Unlike the top, making the skirt took more time because she had to cut several used cardboard pieces and arrange them into a skirt.

1. Easy to Make

"The way to make it is actually very simple, first I made the skirt part because it takes a little longer to make. First, we cut the used cardboard into a rectangular shape, we can make about 20 pieces, if not enough we can add more (depending on our body). Then wrap it with unused wrapping paper in an inverted state," she explained.

"The next step is the top part of the dress (this is very simple and easy). Someday I can make a tutorial for it," she continued.

2. Very Inspiring

What Nicole does is very inspiring. Especially since she is still young and cares about utilizing unused items to become something valuable. Long before making clothes, it turns out Nicole has also made pencil boxes and other storage boxes from cardboard several times.

"Before this recycled clothing, I had also made pencil boxes, hair clip storage boxes, all from used cardboard, so I can still use unused cardboard to make something useful and unique because others don't have it," she said.
