i was at my local target last week when i spotted these flats. At $14.99 a pair, i grabbed both black and brown. After I got home, I decided to spice them up just a little bit.
I used olive green velvet ribbon and some small jewels from our local craft store to give the black pair a little personality. A quick dry adhesive worked perfectly. Just make sure to keep any embellishments above the crease when toes are flexed–this will help ensure they stay put.
I think they were cute before–but makes them a bit more unique.
For the brown pair, I added a bit of burlap and a brown velvet bow.
Still casual–with just a little more personality.And the price was just right!
Are you working on any fun projects right now?
That’s are fabulous shoes! I’m heading to the States over our (Canadian) Thanksgiving…may have to buy some for myself. 🙂
Oh what a clever idea! I love it!
Cxx
Super cute! I especially love what you did with the brown ones…..might have to copy you on that one 😉
Absolutely beautiful, Lisa! I adore the brown ones!
the only thing better is to get them on sale!! i got sequin converse for $8 and then added a chiffon bow for shoe laces. I loved your post today because I am currently wearing them to help me get through my day today.
ohhh, i love <3 the tan ones!! too cute!
Those are so cute Lisa! I love that one could make them however they want. Thanks for the inspiration!
I’m a bit slow in the crafty-arena; what’s a dry adhesive? These are awesome! I want them with just a bow and must get started!
quick dry–it’s a strong hold glue that dries quickly. xo
I love your darling ideas! WIWW is my absolute fav!!
Those are super cute – now I need to run to Target and Michael’s so I can make a taupe pair – those will be great for the fall season!!! 🙂
Love love love this…I just had to pin it for later.
Darling, darling, darling idea!
So cute. I might have to try that out!
How cute…I especially like the brown ones too…but I laughed as I read your words of caution…about where to place the embellishments so they saty put….somehow, somehow I just know I would glue them on and halfway through the day lose one somewhere…haha I know my limits….even on a cute simple project like this! 🙂
So darn CUTE! Great work 🙂
love!!!!!
Love this! No joke that I bought a pair of the brown flats & ended up returning them because they were just a little too, ordinary. Go figure. No I think I need another pair, or two!
LOVE them! so creative!
CUTE! I especially LOVE the brown ones and plan to get myself a pair or two.
Okay, you are officially amazing! Not that you weren’t before, mind you. 😉
Too cute! I love embellished anything, but these shoes are to die for adorable.
Right now I’m trying to start working on Christmas gifts – either chunky knit scarves or pom pom fabric necklaces.
I tried these on and they felt a little plain. I may have to go back and snag some. Love this idea.
Thanks for the fashion and hair inspiration. i am a curly girl too and although your hair routine didn’t completely work for me I did get the product and I use a TINY bit of the mousse and the hairspray is THE BEST. Love it and love that it is cheap. Thanks again.
So cute! What a great idea!
What a great idea Lisa! I just saw these at Target too and now I just might have to go back and buy them and make them cuter too! Thanks for the ideas!
these are both so cute. I have two pairs of vintage pumps that I thrifted this idea would perk them up a bit!
These are genius!!! My girlfriends and I are working on the blog famous “Family Rules” project. It’s coming slowly but surely as conversation gets in the way of progress. But when they’re all done, I’ll share in a post for What I Made Wednesday!!!!
Love love those brown ones! What a fun idea!
Shoe jewelry. So adorable!
That;s super idea!!
cute to be fixed up on shoes!!
you are SO creative! love them!
Love these. Especially the brown ones!
ADORABLE! I have a pair of plain black ballet flats that just might get a little special treatment after seeing this post!
