Breast Cancer Awareness Month

It's the last day of October and the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. This year I wanted to do something for the cause. My mom and I entered and Artful Bra Contest. It's pretty much an event where they auction off decorated bras to raise money for breast cancer and people vote on the bra they loved the most. We started working on it a day before the event, it was a last minute decision. I think it turned out pretty good for so little time.

I used to collect can tabs so we decided to use that to decorate the bra. We painted them with nail polish one by one it was a really long process.


We used sequins and ribbon to give it that extra girly touch.


I was pleased with the final product. The bra ended up being auctioned for $125. It was only $25 short from the highest bid on another bra. In the end I was glad I got to contribute even a little to the cause.
