Recycling Fiesta

This spicy little number is right on Target with business recycling!

The skirt, armbands and top were made from an employee’s old shirt and accented with plastic Target bags. Paper beads were created from cardboard product displays. The Carmen Miranda style headdress was made with plastic bags, old cardboard displays and a returned baseball game. This festive combo took 100 hours to create. Created in 2002.

Commissioned by Target®
