1. May the Best Wig Win: Building a real-looking wig can be perfect to last the whole night. With the use of straws used for tying, combing these will give you a hair-like texture. You can stick these strings on a shower curtain or a stiff helmet and cut away. Show off your skills being a hairdresser and make several complicated styles.

2. Paper Doll: With the use of print brochures, building real looking garments can be mind boggling. If you have excess cash, opt for brochure printing with no folds but with colors to make your paper materials more interesting. With a group of friends, you can build patched skirts, capes, blouses, belts, or even swimsuits and feel just like a paper doll. The one with the most durable and fashionable design wins. Don’t forget to take pictures.

3. One color wardrobe: Pick on your favorite pop teen idol and raid your friend’s closet; with only one color, try to be creative in building a costume that best resembles your most-favored pop princess. You can also contribute and bring a few items of your own to have more options. The girl with the best get-up wins.

After making all of these things, you can build your own walkway with all these items joined together. With a fashion show, building a photo collage in the form of a brochure print can be a cute souvenir for you and your friends. Also, these collage items can be a good remembrance for even up to when you are older.
