I found these shoes the other week in New Look, they are such great shoes that I will be going back to get another pair to keep as they are, but these beauties are to become something entirely different for New Years!
I'm not a big designer girl, but I do appreciate the beauty in these amazing shoes!!!!
But unfortunately I do not have £6000 for those shoes, so I'm doing a little DIY!
Now, I'm not a sparkly
shoes everyday girl I'm not even a real heels girl everyday, but I trying to branch out from the converse, so I have these great shoes that I'm going to transform, I also went with a slightly chunkier heel as they need to be slightly more practical!
I started by painting over the shoe in white acrylic, because sadly I could find a nice comfy
shoe in white!
Then I added a layer of sparkly flexible fabric glue to protect the paint
My next job is to stick 3000 diamante on the shoes!
I ummed and erred over Swarovski vs acrylic Diamante and decided that the £13 acrylic ones will do as a test run, If I love them then perhaps I will invest the £100 I would need to spend on real Swarovski, I know they wont sparkle as much as the real thing, but sometime costs are what makes the decision!
I'll Keep you posted when they are done!
Wow that's quite some ambitious shoe-making-over! Bet they look great when they're done though. Good luck and looking forward to seeing the finished product! Jen x
