Teens make formal wear out of duct tape Associated Press News Publication date: 2001-05-07

(Richland, Washington-AP) -- Two Washington high school students could have found themselves in a sticky situation at their prom.

The seniors at Richland High School are competing in a ``Stuck at Prom'' contest sponsored by Duck Brand duct tape.

The couple used 650-yards of duct tape to make a tux, ball gown, and accessories.

The outfits were made by pressing the sticky sides of tape together. They say it took about 25 hours and cost 85 dollars. Erick Edvalson said it was like wearing a space suit.

The students are competing for 25-hundred dollars in scholarship money.

Entrants must sent their prom picture and an entry form to the company before June 15th.
