My husband and I met when he offered me a pack of Starburst a few years before the project started. As his favorite candy he began to save grocery bags full of wrappers for me\u2026 The dress had a nice spot next to the gift table at our wedding almost 2 years ago!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17855\" src=\"https:\/\/peewee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Starburst-wrapper-dress.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peewee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Starburst-wrapper-dress.jpg 640w, https:\/\/peewee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Starburst-wrapper-dress-427x640.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17854\" src=\"https:\/\/peewee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Starburst-wrapper-dress-back.jpg\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/peewee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Starburst-wrapper-dress-back.jpg 640w, https:\/\/peewee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Starburst-wrapper-dress-back-427x640.jpg 427w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/>\n<p><strong>When the Starburst company found out about her dress, they sent her additional wrappers and she made this purse and covered these heels!<\/strong><\/p>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" src=\"https:\/\/peewee.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Starburst-candy-wrapper.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-17865\" \/>\n<p><em>via <\/em><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/starburst-wrappers-heels-purse-emily-seilhamer\/\">Bored Panda<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Emily Seilhamer is an artist who specializes in upcycling.
