Skittles, that delightful fruity candy, encourages people to "taste the rainbow."

But what about creating that rainbow into something that could completely change your life? That's the case for Sarah Louise Bryan, a 27-year-old former beautician and mother of two kids who was basically homeless, relying on the kindness of friends who let her and her kids stay with them.

But all that changed when after lying in bed one night, trying to think of how to get out of her situation, she had the idea to make a dress out of Skittles. Little did she know that it would go viral and set her on her way to becoming a millionaire.

Of course it wasn’t easy. She spent six hours every day for a month creating the garment — and shoes — which are made up of 145 bags of Skittles held together with 90 tubes of glue.

So how did she get from sweets to success?After posting a picture of the colorful creation on social media, the image went viral and her talents were spotted by clothing company Ripleys, who supplies clothes to celebrities like the Kardashians.

The company Exsec,s were so impressed with her dress that they asked her to create her own collection of handbags and dresses, called the Sarah Louise Bryan range.“It has been quite an incredible journey,” she said. “I had a tough upbringing and was placed in foster care.I got pregnant at 14 and have a 13-year-old son. Just a year ago I had nothing – I was penniless.” "I have always wanted to give my children a better life and was always thinking of ways I could do this," she continued.

“I had an incredible break with the Skittles dress idea and things have just snowballed since.” She is now renting her own home for her and her children, is mixing with celebrities, and hopes to be a millionaire in the not-so-distant future. “I am proof that no matter who you are and how bad things can get anyone can get themselves out of a bad situation with ideas and drive,” she said.
