A local thrift store was closing.  As I walked through the store selecting items I could use for craft classes, I noticed a group of table mannequins.  They were scuffed up and faded.  As I looked at them I wondered if I could alter them with different items from my stash.  
With some leftover paint, rope, burlap, stickers, and bling, I created six unique altered mannequins.  I really enjoyed the process of creating something very unique.  I decided that since they were essentially free (including my left over items in my stash).  I would give the proceeds to support mental health.  Here are some pictures of the process to get them to their final state.  All of them sold very quickly.  So, when you go to that local thrift store, look to see if they have any mannequins that you can alter.  They make a very unique home décor item or something special for a local store front window.  (Half were purchased by store owners and the other half went to people that wanted them for their own home décor.)
