Let’s get started.

Feminine lace or crystal trim for your high heel shoes:

1. All you need are strong craft glue, a toothpick or straight pin and lace appliques or crystal tim.

2. Then choose/determine where to place lace applique/crystal trim (it can be at the back of the heel or cover the entire shoe for a total makeover).

3. Add sufficient amount of glue using the toothpick to the back of each

4. Place on the heel or the entire shoe and press gently.

5. Repeat on the second shoe. Let dry completely.

Redesign your flat shoes with small pearl appliqué.

1. All you need are masking tape, paint brush and fabric paint or acrylic. For extra style you need strong craft glue and embellishments like beaded appliqué or small pearl appliqué.

2. Apply paint evenly on the entire shoes or just across the toes of the flats (place masking tape across the toes).

3. Repeat on the second shoe. Let dry completely.

4. Remove the masking tape.

5. For extra style, use strong glue to attach the embellishments/appliques.
