Pimp my (old) shoes...kindergarten style!

Ever since Miu Miu presented it's glitter-loaded collection about a year ago, 

glittered had invaded the (fashion) world. 

Glitter-related DIY's started to pop up all round the blogosphere. 

So I decided to give it a try and revive and old pair of flats I had lying around. 

It's a no brainer, seriously a three-year-old could do it, and the result is great. 

This are the steps I followed...illustrated. 

(see, even the steps are kindergarten style!)

And here are some pictures of the process..

 Mixing up the paste...

 Adding the paste... (though this was my second layer)

The paste starting to dry up...

And finally, this is how it looks. Just scrap off the rough edges and excess. 

Also, here are a couple other DIY's that inspired me! 

a pair + a spare  and wobisobi

(both blogs have great DIY's!)

Pimp your shoes just in time for no-more-boots season...

easy peasy! 

Neon DIY

Remember my DIY Yellow Clutch???
Well get ready for some more DIY time...

B from Just B made a Céline - inspired DIY clutch, and I can't wait to make my own.
She used a clutch from American Apparel and paint, but why not make your own clutch following StyleScrapbook's instructions (the ones I used for my clutch) here ???
DIY galore!!!

Happy DIY-ing!

D.I.Y. Sunday

Today's forecast was laziness with a few bits of boredom. 

No sir, not this sunday. I decided to make a productive day out of this Sunday. So I forced myself out of bed went downtown, bought some materials and spent the afternoon making things. I made two leather clutches and a some stuff my room (which I'm re-decorating).  

I won't post the decor stuff because it's not ready yet...(when my room's ready I'm doing a piece about it!) but I made this........

Ever since Andy from Style Scrapbook uploaded the DIY instructions for her yellow clutch like the ones selling in American Apparel I went completely bananas over it. Spring Fever's hitting me hard and my wardrobe is   turning to hardcore-bright colors and colorful hues. I just had to make a clutch for myself! 

It was so easy, really, you can find Andy's instructions here. 

        

It's bright, it's happy, it's yellow:)!!!

Ok. Pretend I didn't write that...

It was so easy in fact I'm making more in different sizes and colors...

Are you thinking what I'm thinking????

YES!!

Taylor Tomassi's Celine Blue Clutch!!!

Can't wait to get my hands on some blue leather to make one like this Celine's forget-me-not clutch,

Hope you had a great weekend and hope you have a great week!
