Ladies get you handy-dandy notebook (oh I used to have a secret crush on Steve from Blue's Clues because he was so sweet with the kids) okay lets start working! Today I have a tutorial for shoe clips. I bought these earrings at a garage sale and I was going to make them into a sweater clip but then I changed my mind and thought they would look cuter as shoe clips.
Materials needed
Earrings
glue gun/ glue
clips from old clip on earrings or ugly shoe clips
a little piece of felt or orther fabric
plyers
When I worked on my booties I suddenly noticed the shoe clips in my jewerly junk baggie, both shoe clips were missing their pair so I decided to use the clips to make a new pair.
Carefully pull out the clips from the old shoe clips using the plyers.
Here are shoe clips.
These are the earrings.
With the plyers bend the back of the earring (I tried pulling it off but I couldn't).
Here's the back of the earring all bent.
Now you are ready to glue.
Put some hot glue on the back of the earring.
Place the clip on top (be careful not to burn yourself!).
Add glue to the piece of fabric, preferably the same color as your earring.
Carefully place the fabric in between the clip.
Repeat procedure with the other earring.
Here is the back of the finished clips...
Clip them to your shoes and take them for a ride!
You can get these clips at any craft store or if you prefer the cheap way reuse things from jewelry you might already have!

Best (a.k.a worst) hot glue story ever: I got some on my finger and my immediate reaction was to put my finger in my mouth.
Your shoe clips look darling though -- I've got a bunch of clip ons I could send your way if you'd like.
How cute is this! What a great idea for a DIY. Thanks for sharing it :)
