WACO, TX — A Waco woman is going viral for making incredible fashion creations from every day items and now her fans are making special requests.

Boredom can spark the next big idea. Just ask Ashoantee.

"I was literally bored and went to the store to stock up on food. I noticed I had a lot of Walmart bags. I thought I should make something out of the Walmart bags. I made a wierd wrap around dress. Made a Tik Tok and people loved it," said Ashoantee.

The Robinson High School graduate now lives in Dallas where she attended The Art Institute of Dallas for fashion design. She's making beautiful, edgy and fun designs from really anything.

"I got two packs of Solo cups and started cutting it up and made a two piece outfit," she said.

The Tik Tok videos on her Yoasho page are getting thousands of views.

"Now I'm kind of obsessed with making stuff. Now when I look at stuff I'm like hmmm...I wonder if I can make this a dress or make this a pantsuit," she said.

She's creating a small collection and will start selling items soon. Making her mark on quarantine fashion.
