Oh how I love making these. I have done this for many a years when I needed to dress up a pair of shoes. It’s super easy too. Just glue a pair of clip on earring findings to whatever you want to adorn your shoes, and viola! A quick removable upgrade. I also used an actual pair of vintage earrings on my shoes as well.
After (much better!)
And, here is a cute button embellishment how to I found on Craft Stylish.
Remember, if you have done a shoe makeover yourself, add your pics to the Shoe Makeover Flickr Group, or share a link, etc. in the discussion part of the group. I will be sharing these throughout the week for all to see.
Do you only use earrings? What kind of clips do you recommend?
I have only used clip on earring backs, but alligator clips would work as well. I just like the hold that the earring clips provide. I just went to Michael’s and found some in the jewelry section (with the “findings”, the non-bead part of jewelry making). If you find something else that works, let me know and I’ll update the post with your idea.
