In more recent years, there have been new scholarships going around that support creativity and design. What is the primary material? Silk? Wool? Cotton? Nope, duct tape. That’s right, today’s high schoolers are taking advantage of the fashion trend, and earning $3,000 in scholarships for it. The site www.stuckatprom.com allows users to go and vote on their favorite finalist as the competition narrows down. 10 couples have been chosen with their entries now, and all have shown a great deal of creativity.

Want to make your own?

While the best way of course, according to the finalists, is trial and error, there is another way to learn how to make these warm sticky dresses, just go to the easy to follow tutorial at the about.com diyfashion section, http://diyfashion.about.com/od/diytops/ss/Duct_Tape_Dress.htm and follow the sticky but easy instructions.

Also, don’t forget to make a wallet for practice, those last a lifetime.
