Knifty Nikki has gotten me hooked on reading craft blogs, and when I saw the zipper ballet flats on Craftaholics Anonymous I decided to try to re-do my shoes as well.
I have these black pumps in my closet, but I don't like to wear them often because they're so, well, boring. They don't have the flair, flash, and pizzaz that I like on my footwear.
They needed some attention. Attention and love does wonders for shoes!
And kids!
And husbands! (Preferably just one husband at a time, and not in the order that I put them in. It is very important to rank one's family over one's shoes. So I've been told.)
Anyway, I picked up a roll of satin ribbon 2 1/2 inches wide and made two rosettes. From there, I just used my hot glue gun to glue the rosettes onto the toes!
No burns, no blisters, and no swearing!
When it comes to the glue gun, that has to be a record for me. Every crafter has their nemesis, and mine is the glue gun. They are evil things with a sadistic delight in maiming fingers.
