These handmade Star Wars high heels by Instructables user Doodle Craft cleverly capture the utilitarian aesthetic look of robotic characters R2-D2 and C-3PO. To make these galactic heels yourself all you need is a pair of unwanted shoes and fabric paint.
These quirky intergalactic shoes are perfect for female fans of the Star Wars saga that are looking to get crafty with their wardrobe. To make these heels begin by grabbing a pair of high heels you no longer wear and you're willing to upcycle. Doodle Craft opted for a cute pair of Mary Janes. Then paint one shoe gold and the other silver. The gold high heel will be C-3PO so add some exposed wires and hardware detailing. The silver heel will be R2-D2 so add some blue and red robotic button designs.
