February Reuse & [Re]Think Contest: Shoulder Pads and Bra Inserts

Ahhhh...the shoulder pad. Whether you love them or hate them, they've been around for nearly 100 years and they don't seem to be going away anytime soon! They may come in and out of style every few years, but one thing's for certain, you can always find countless garments with shoulder pads at your local thrift store. Instead of cutting them out and tossing them immediately, how can you reuse them to create something functional that will stand the test of time?

Submission:

Once you’ve completed your creation, please provide at least 2 photos of your art piece, your contact info and a short description of materials used. Email your submission to rethink@austincreativereuse.org by the deadline.

Creations will be judged on incorporation of reuse materials, craftsmanship, and creativity.

One winner will be notified and receive a $15 gift card to ACR that can be redeemed either in center or our online store. They will also be announced on our social media.

Deadline: 11:59PM on Tuesday, February 28th

Please feel free to email rethink@austincreativereuse.org with any questions. Good luck!
