Fashion Statement Fabric Necklaces

Browsing online and seeing so many beautiful necklaces occurred to me to make my own collection of bib necklaces with my favorite materials. For someone who loves to design and create, over time I accumulated a lot of supplies, so stay tune for more unique pieces. Here are my creations. I do not intend to repeat the designs so each one is unique, it is definitely one of a kind piece.
I hope you like it.

Time for Floral Shoes. How to make yours

I love shoes and for a while I wanted to buy a floral pair for spring and summer. After browsing around I realized "why not make my own?"
Here are some that inspired me
from: Constanze Gonzalez and Paul Schere


from 2011 D&G Spring Summer Shoes Collection 

$594
From Neiman Marcus $395
From Kindredsole $49.50

And here is my gift to you, so you can make your own very unique pair of floral shoes.
1- find a pair of shoes. I chose those because they are very light and comfortable.

2- pull them apart
3-find a very pretty fabric
4- cut the pieces and add some interfacing for a better shape. I cut  long bands because I like to put them several times around my leg and also have enough to make a bow.
5- sew the pieces together
6- I also made with the same fabric a couple of flowers to decorate the shoes
7- I covered the soles with the same fabric
8- when I was all set, I realized that I had no more glue :( I went to the store and bought super glue :)
9- I glued  them carefully and to gave  the proper shape I used my own feet as a template. I let them dry overnight.......... I today......... I wore them to work!!!
What do you think??
