Prepare to be amazed by a viral sensation that’s turning heads and winning hearts. Two New York teenagers have taken DIY fashion to an entirely new level by spending nearly 300 hours creating stunning prom outfits using… duct tape! Yes, you read that right.
Jessica, a 17-year-old from Great Neck, Long Island, embarked on an ambitious project that involved 94 hours and 34 rolls of duct tape to craft an exquisite prom dress. But Jessica isn’t alone in this duct tape endeavor. Her friend also dedicated over 150 hours and used 35 rolls of duct tape to design a tuxedo, demonstrating an equally impressive level of craftsmanship. One of the standout features? A vest knitted entirely from tape—an innovative touch that truly sets the outfit apart.
These teens aren’t just showcasing their incredible skills; they’re also competing for a national scholarship. Both have made it to the finals of the Duct Tape Brand’s contest, and if they win, they could each walk away with a whopping $15,000.
