Surprising they were very easy to make, the inspiration shoes are $49.99 at Spring and my DIY cost me $1.99!
- What you need: old black heels, lace material, hot glue gun,scissors.
- I started at the back and started gluing the material to the edge of the shoe. I did this all around the whole shoe.
- Next, you can cut off any excess material that won't be needed
- Start at the back again and start to pull the material up tight and glue it all around the top.
- Once the top is all glued you will have excess material hanging over the inside of the shoe.
- Pull the material again and glue it down inside the heel.
- Lastly take your scissors and trim up any uneven pieces.
Cool idea! I linked up at the Dollar Store Crafts facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/dollarstorecrafts
ReplyDeleteI'm already a follower, and this is one of the reasons why - so clever - so inexpensive - without being cheap
ReplyDeleteWow!!
ReplyDeleteThis is genius!!! They look so cute!
ReplyDeleteThese look cute, but wouldn't the lace rub against your feet and be uncomfortable? How do they feel on your feet? Thx
ReplyDeleteHey, good question! They are not bad, just make sure when you are buying the lace fabric for this DIY pick a soft one not rough. You will thank yourself later.
ReplyDeleteOr there are always those little socks the just cover the toes/heel. They are brilliant!
So cute! I love these! I agree that you'd want a soft lace, but the idea is great.
ReplyDeleteI must say, impressive! Never thought of this and I have lots of shoes needing some recovery! :)))

ReplyDeleteThank you! Love your blog, It makes me soo hungry while at work :) Hope you can follow me
DeleteI love this, this may be my next inspiration. I recently got into redoing some of my older shoes for uber cheap. My blog is amber-snyder.blogspot.com Come check me out!
ReplyDeletecan you use e-6000 or should you use the hot glue im trying to just cover a toe and heel not the entire shoe. Also do you know a good paint to use on shoes like faux leather shoes the shinny ones?
ReplyDeletee-6000 glue would be a great choice, as it really holds items. I just had a hot glue gun handy and used that and it worked out well!
ReplyDeleteAs for the paint...I would try any fabric paints, I personally like the lines from Tulip. Check your local Michaels they always have great options. Could always try using a nail filer to dull down the shiny-ness before painting...might help make it stick.
