Hi ladies! I'm going to have such a hard time getting back to my sleeping schedule, last night I slept from 12 a.m to 3 a.m. thanks to little Mr. Cricket who decided to come uninvited to my room and with no shame made noise and hopped on my foot! Yikes! I almost jumped to the roof (insects scare me). I ran to turn on the light and killed that little booger, but I still couldn't fall asleep. Got up at 7:30 a.m., drove my son to the babysitter (half asleep) and then off to a training only to realize that I could not get credit for it! So I went back home. Thank God this day is over! =)
Enough rambling, let's go on to the shoe refashioning. Remember these booties I thrifted?
Well I wanted these:
Oh, they are gorgeous! But I'm on a budget and I don't want to quit shopping just to save for these very high booties I won't be able to walk in. So I worked with what I had, the booties I thrifted have the perfect heel for work and are very comfortable.
Materials needed:
booties
plyers
metal chains (various types)
metal clasps
needle and thread
I bought these chains at Hobby Lobby, they were 50% off and I had some I'd bought at a garage sale.
The clasps and rings I had in my crafts basket.
First I calculated the length I was going to use for the chains around the bootie.
I pulled the chains apart (some I could pull apart with my hands and others I had to use the plyers).
I had different length chains, 2 sets (one for each bootie).
Oops! I forgot to take a picture of when I joined all the chains on the ring and on to the clasp!
By the way I added the clasp so that I can comfortably put the bootie on.
Once all the chains were joined I sewed the chains in place (I didn't want them falling off or rotating around the bootie).
Here's the end result.
Sorry about the bad quality pictures, I did this at night.
I think I'm going to add a black ribbon bow at the back (but I'm out of black ribbon right now).
Very easy to do! I can't wait for Fall to wear them.
Other shoe refashions I did are

I have a few more tutorials coming soon! I want to finish all my projects before school starts.
