Bling your Bra - Judgement Day!

You may all remember a while back that I blogged about my creation for the "Bling your Bra" contest/Breast cancer fundraiser.

Last Monday was the time for the competition judging and it was also a chance to have a look done by all of the other competitors . Here's a few photos of some of the bras that were on display - there sure were some creative minds at work.


This amazing bra was the winner - it was named "Come on boobie light my fire" - LOVE IT!

That's my bra on the far right - I was pretty proud of my work!

This one was pretty epic and its entitled - "Candle-la-bra". I loved the names on some of the bras, next year I will have to come up with a more creative name!

I love all things horror movie and zombie - so I LOVED this bra. You can't see it so well in this picture but those are zombie hands on the bra. Here I am with my creation - looking pretty happy with myself! Also my support crew came along - Rich, Nilanka and Ria. Thanks Guys!

Finally all of the competitors received a goodie bag which included this cute pink cupcake in support of breast cancer (the whole event was a breast cancer fundraiser).

Here's the sequins!

I know that a few folks out there want to know about my brand new sequinned craft project - well never fear! I will explain all!

Last week I stumbled about a Bling Your Bra competition that is currently happening in Wellington. The competition is pretty simple, get an old bra and bling it up!

It costs $20 to enter the contest and all the money goes towards the New Zealand Breast Cancer Foundation, which is a cause very close to my heart as I lost a good friend a few years back to breast cancer.

I ended up spending quite a few nights recently sewing on sequins as I only found out about the competition a few days before the closing date (which was today!).

So here is a BEFORE picture of the bra I used - I've had this bra for a long time, but I hardly ever wore it because it was kind of uncomfortable. Sorry the photo is a little fuzzy.

Here is the after photo - I was inspired by the whole idea of Mexican Day of the Dead and the bright colours of Mexican Art in general.

Here's a close up photo of the bra in all its sequinned glory.

The competition is officially judged at the Southern Cross Bar on the 28th of November which is pretty exciting - I can't wait to see what everyone else created!
