Repair work: 1 Pair Of Shoes 7 Ways

Shoe clips are a really effective way of transforming a plain pair of shoes into something special, and these examples all use basic materials and techniques.
Start with a plain pair of shoes:

And add your choice of embellishment:

Some of them will require glue and shoe clip backings

Hair clip bow
Take a hair slide and slip onto the side of shoe.

Brooch
Pin a brooch directly over the bridge of a pair of peep-toe or strappy shoes.

Fabric flower
Cut out various sized circles out of satin fabric and sew together with a few contrasting beads. Glue a shoe clip to the back.

Ribbon bow
Make a bow out of velvet ribbon by gluing two ends to form a loop then gluing a shorter piece around the centre. Once dry, glue the bow to a shoe clip.

Scarf clip
Clip a scarf holder directly onto shoe.

Feathers & clip-on earrings
Glue coloured feathers onto back of clip-on earring; clip onto side of shoe.

Diamante button
Use a needle and thread to temporarily secure diamante embellishment to shoe. If you have a larger button you can glue it to a shoe clip instead of sewing.
Making use of shoe clips means your bridesmaids can purchase plain (read: usually cheaper) shoes which they’ll easily be able to wear again. Or if your girls are providing their own shoes, shoe clips will instantly give them a cohesive look.
These are just some ideas, I’m sure you can use your imagination to come up with loads more. So what are you waiting for? Dig through your nanna’s costume jewellery, your fabric scraps box or your favourite budget accessories shop for more inspiration.
