First year of college has really depleted my stash of high
heels, with all the partying I have had to get heels and soles of my heels
repaired a few times, but when my suede heels get scuffed there was usually
little I could do. I grow very attached to my heels and find it hard to let go
sometimes. Shoes carry sentimental value no? Anyways these chunky heeled black
suede platforms of mine had been sitting in the back of my wardrobe fit for the
bin but I just couldn't let go. So I figured a little high heel DIY wouldn't
hurt and if they still looked awful afterwards I would then succumb to the
pressure and put them in the bin. But I think they turned out alright, I have
already worn them out and my Mum has given them her seal of approval which is
all I need! I got these heels for my graduation last year in Shoerack in Bray
and it was love at first sight! So for my tricks on High DIY follow these 7
easy steps!
Step 1: Lay out newspaper or a plastic sheet to put your
shoe on so as not to destroy the surface you are working on.
Step 2: Stuff your shoes with newspaper to avoid ruining the
insides of your shoes
Step 3: Pick out 2/3 bottles of nail varnish in your
favourite colours. I chose 2 different purples and metallic silver.
Step 4: Using one colour at a time drizzle the nail varnish
straight from the bottle all over the shoe in swirls or chevrons or whatever
tickles your fancy.
Step 5: Wait for the nail varnish to dry before setting out
a new sheet of newspaper and attacking the other side of the shoes.
Step 6: When both sides have dried use a piece of cotton
wool and nail varnish remover to fix any mistakes on the sole and you are good
to go.
Step 7: Time to party! :)
