The Cupcakes and Cashmere Berry Slides provide a simple, affordable alternative to buying already embellished sandals. Instead, these slip-on shoes have been dressed up in the most dainty manner by way of a strong adhesive and small fruit-shaped pieces of plastic.
As sliders are one of the most coveted items for spring and summer 2014, author Emily Schuman opted to provide her own take on the footwear craze. She began with a basic white sandal and subsequently stuck on five of the faux berries in a linear manner. The final result is both adorable and fashionable, certainly a go-to mixture for many women this season.
For viewers looking to take up this DIY project with a twist, the strawberries can be substituted with other shapes or food items.
