Recycle The Shoes Off Your Feet

May 29, 2009 by S. Denise Hoyle Leave a Comment

I simply had to post about these shoes when I saw the tutorial – what a great idea!  I have horrible, hard to fit feet and it never fails, as soon as I get a pair broken in to where they’re finally comfortable – I’ve got them all scuffed up and they no longer look like they should.

Well Perri Lewis in the UK took an old pair of pumps and turned them into this brand new customized pair for just a few bucks!  She made them using decoupage techniques and her design is made from stamps and glossy magazine pages.  You could also use wrapping paper or thin tissue paper, but I was thinking of all the wonderful fabric scraps that I keep for the perfect occasion. 

Better yet, how about taking a favorite old pre-loved pair of dress shoes and recycling them to match your latest outfit creation with the leftover scraps!  You could save some major bucks and look like a million all at the same time!  Get the full tutorial with step by step instructions in the UK’s Guardian News.
