Making your own shoe jewelry is a kitschy, cost-effective method to switching up an old pair of shoes for the new season. Using this handy DIY, any lady can make her own adornments that can transform a cheap pair of flats into gorgeous shoes ready for the red carpet.
Just follow the DIY instructions over at Honestly...WTF and you'll be able to make a bunch of different ones in a single afternoon. Head to a thrift store or ask some relatives if they wouldn't mind donating some old costume jewelry to the cause.
This shoe jewelry DIY has me imagining a professional young lady who keeps these handy at her desk in the office. Once five o'clock hits, she slips them onto her shoes and is ready for cocktails with friends.
