Make a girl's dress from an old skirt.
Step 1: Find an old skirt, and estimate the correct length for the gown you'll create -- the skirt should fall to the floor from under her arms.
Step 2: Cut the elastic in half. Sew a piece of elastic at the skirt's waistband to make a shoulder strap.
Step 3: Repeat with the second piece of elastic.
Step 4: Sew on sequins, old jewelry, and lace at the skirt top, the waistband, and the straps to decorate the dress.
