If your anything like me then you love shoes, my wardrobe is in the process of being transformed in order to fit more in! I can honestly admit I have a bit of an obsession! I can't really remember the first time I tried a pair of high heels but I bet it was funny. Strutting around in your mums heels! My other obsession is definitely being a crafty person, I like to transform anything I can into something that's my own, whether I'm creating something from scratch, transforming an item or adding a crafty touch.
My first YouTube video is a DIY video of transforming these nice classic heels. I bought these from eBay for a cheap £6. I have only worn them once as there slightly too big for me! They have just been sat in my closet for months so I took it upon my self to come up with ideas that would make them look unique but in season. I didn't want to replicate something I had seen, I just wanted to create something that would transform them and increase there value and appearance; but on a budget.
My priority was to try something that would challenge myself within DIY Fashion and look completely different to the original. As you can see in the above images I applied lace all over the shoes and added a black trim around the shoes. The trim makes them look very high quality, it's always the smallest details that matter.
To do this you will need
Shoes - eBay - £6
Lace - Craft Store - 0.5 Metres £2.25
Black Trim - I used black elastic as it had a very silky shine - Craft Store - 3 Metres £2.10
Soft material to line the inside on the shoes - Already Owned - You can use any type of material just make sure it's soft
Cuticle stick and some tweezers - Already Owned - You can purchase these from most drugstores if you don't own them.
All Purpose Glue or Fabric Glue - Crafts Store - £2.00
Black sharpie or permanent Marker - Already Owned - You can purchase these from most Craft or Homewear Stores if you don't own them.
TOTAL = £12.25
