How to: Revamp your Shoes

August 11, 2010 by FaveCrafts

There is nothing better than a good pair of shoes. Great shoes improve your posture, flatter your figure, give you a more attractive gait, and provide the base for a stylish outfit. Shoes always fit, no matter how many scoops of slow-churned goodness you added to your cone last night. And as Cher Horowitz of Clueless would say, “You see how picky I am about my shoes, and they only go on my feet!”

Instead of buying a new pair of shoes for every trend, why not take some old, washed-up, has-been shoes from your closet and DIY them into something unique? There are myriad ways to re-do your shoes. If you follow these how-to tips, even your shoe rack will inspire you to say “Hello, Lover…”

Re-Do your Shoes: Make a Removable Embellishment
Sex and the City Shoes
Make a simple ribbon or chiffon embellishment that you can add to any pair of strappy heels and remove when the trend dies down. Because let’s face it, wearing ruffly chiffon leaves all over your feet is not going to be popular for long. For these tutorials, use a ribbon as a base to hold whatever embellishment you want (be creative!) and attach it to Velcro strips (thus the “removable” part).

Re-Do your Shoes: Decoupage
Mod Podge
You already know how to decoupage a piece of furniture or a picture frame, but did you know you could decoupage a pair of shoes too? With a little mod podge, some fabric, and a hot glue gun, you can essentially reupholster a pair of old shoes like you would a couch. Try this tutorial for detailed instructions.

Re-Do your Shoes: Paint
Spray Paint
Spray paint a pair of boring flats or heels with a bright color and seal with a coat of clear spray paint. Make sure you tape off the soles and other places you don’t want the paint to get on, and wait for the paint to dry completely (overnight) before handling.

Re-Do your Shoes: Sew a Ruffle
Ruffle

Use our handy How to Sew a Ruffle guide to make tiny fabric ruffles to attach to your shoes.  This tutorial shows how great ruffle embellishments on flats can look.

Re-Do your Shoes: Add a Flower
Fabric Flowers Fabric Flowers Fabric Flowers
Use one of our easy fabric flower tutorials, or crochet or knit a flower, and attach it to your favorite heels or flats. Flowers look good on the toes of your shoes or even adorning the ankle straps.

Summer is Just Around the Corner

May 11, 2009 by FaveCrafts

I love summer-time. The warm sun beating on my face and the bright blue sky just make me smile and think there’s not a care in the world. Summer is also the time kids are off from school and playing with their friends. My nieces live right down the street from me so it’s fun to hang out. Usually during summer-time everyone likes to wear sandals and flip flops, but shoes with laces are still in. This cute flower shoe clip is sure to spruce up your shoe. You can make it according to your mood. If you want to decorate your shoe for the Fourth of July you can use red and blue beads. If you’re just going for a summer bike ride or for a picnic maybe you’ll want a bright color bead like yellow or orange. Either way it’s a nice craft for the kids to help you with and they can walk all over it (figuratively speaking). Another fun summer craft is bbq skewers.

Everyone loves to bbq during the warm weather and what a fun way to do it with decorative skewers.

Along with bbq’d food you can use it for fresh fruit. These fun crafts are the perfect way to start your summer. Enjoy! And if you have any summer crafts you’d like to share let us know!
