Do.It.YOURself - Animal Print Rhinestone Shoes

Hey Lover, 

The holiday season is upon us and to help you DAZZLE this season I present to you, 

 The Animal Print Rhinestone Shoes. 

I got home one day to find these on my bed. A friend gave them to me  as they weren't the right size for her. 

To be honest, I'm not a fan of baby phat (AT ALL), so I told my friend I would DIY them to make them more "me". 

check out what I did.

If you decide to do this, I would love to see what you come up with. 

Love, 

Mo

D.I.Y - Giving Shoes the Fabric Treatment

Hey Lovers. 

So I have been DYIINNNGG to put some fabric on a pair of shoes I own and have finally done it. 

After I finished making my shoes I felt like I had won some kind of race because all the fabric shoes that came out this summer just couldn't fit me... #thesefeetdontlie

If you try this, please send me some pics of what you do

anyways here goes.

1. I opted to glue random pieces onto the shoe instead of creating a pattern for the actual shape of the shoe.

2. I wasn't concerned about fabric dipping onto the platform of the shoe *shrug*
3. have fun with it... it doesn't have to be PERFECT!

 I LOOOOOOVVVVVVVVEEEEEE my *NEW* shoes, I can't wait to rock em. *victory is mine* LOL

My little piece of SOLITUDE

 Hey Lovers.

So for the past couple of days I have been spring cleaning and putting things together. I had to de-clutter and oh does it feel sooo good. Thought I would share with you guys my lil piece of solitude aka my room. These are the little things in my room that make me happy.

D.I.Y - White BEads on CARAmel

So I had this gorgeous necklace, but it broke a long time ago and has just been sitting in this 

little plastic bag.  I used the necklace back in 2009 when I took some pictures for clutch culture.  I fell in love with the beads and am using them in this D.I.Y to give them a new purpose :) 

I took one loose bead at a time and glued it onto the flap of this purse.

After putting the beads that I wanted to on the purse, I then covered the flap of the purse with plastic wrap. I did this because I wanted to wrap a scarf around the purse to help the beads glue and dry in place. The plastic was to stop the scarf from moving the beads before the glue dried.  I let them dry overnight.

I still have ALOT of beads left, wonder what I'm going to do with them O_o :)

and...

D.I.Y. - The LOVE. earrings

I made some earrings out of scraps of faux leather material that I've had lying around for a long time now.



I then cut out 2 rectangles on the faux leather I wanted to have as the base of the earrings. (see above pic bottom left hand corner). I then cut 2 pieces of each shape from different colors of faux leather as seen below.  After that I started gluing the pieces onto the base faux leather and made sure that the second earring was a mirror image of the other.



I then glued earring backs (yes, I choose to call them earring backs, coz I don't know if there is a technical term..LOL) I have a whole bunch of these from broken earrings so I just recycled. After gluing them to the back of the leather piece I then left them to dry overnight.

D.I.Y - BREATHE(ing) new life into an old purse

I am BEYOND excited to share my first Do-It-Yourself project with you.

I have decided to breathe new life into a purse I thrifted a while back.
I got the purse for $1.50 and liked how it looked but decided to give it a little more life.

call me `The Purse Whisperer` LOL.. gosh I'm so corny

anyways....

If you try to do this I would LOVE to see some before and after pictures of your projects.

Kisses
The Purse Whisperer

Begin cutting small pieces of the fabric to glue onto the purse. I decided to use random shapes and even overlapped them.  I wanted it to look uneven. Apply the glue on the wrong side of the fabric and onto the surface of the purse on which you want to place the fabric piece.  Carefully place the fabric onto the purse surface and press it down to make sure the piece doesn't move.

It`s up to you how much of the purse you want to cover up. I chose to cover up the flap of the purse. Also I like the unevenness of the back of the purse. I was not concerned about making the edge of the fabric pieces even. 

and VOILA......
