vamping up old shoes!

Last week me and the other half were watching the voice and a young girl auditioned and straight away her shoes caught my eye!

If you watch the show I'm sure you know the shoes I'm talking about?

She made them herself, i think she made her whole outfit but the shoes is what caught my eye.

So yesterday before picking up the kids i went op shopping for some heels that i could upcycle into something funky and fun like the shoes i had seen.

I found two great pairs of shoes and picked them up at a steal for $5.00 each, now neither are my size but the style was what i wanted.

I brought them home and gave them a good clean and removed some small red glass beads that were on the straps of the red shoes.

Then this morning i set to work getting out everything i thought i might need to turn these pain Jane's into something a little more funky.

and then i set to work!

I love the way these came up! I used my hot glue gun and in no certain order glued on a variety of different sized and coloured buttons i stuck mostly to the pinks and whites  as I'm a pink kinda girl :)

Now they looked great just with the buttons cork heels but i wanted a little more so i added Ric Rac all the way around the top of the heels and added a lace flower bunched up in the front and to me  they then  finished up perfect!

The only thing that has me disappointed now is that there a size 10 and I'm only a size 8 lol.

Back to the op shops and clearance racks very soon to try and find a pair in my size.

I would love to wear these out with a nice pair of cut jeans and plain top. Let the shoes be the statement!

Comparing the before and after, i much rather like my new vamped up version of these simple heels.

Let me know what you think x

And as soon as i hit the shops to buy some  more glue sticks i will starting on the red heels.

Share that one with you all soon xox
