DIY Spiked Heels

I ADORE SPIKED HEELS!!...........unfortunately, my wallet?...does not.

So I decided to make my own less expensive version =-)

Example: Shoe by Ruthie Davis [materials]:

[1}: A drill.

(sorry I'm not good with tool/hardware names...I just took this from my dad's toolshead) Bascially...as long as you can carefully make a hole through the shoe, you're good. lol

[2}: Marker, pencil, or pen to draw where you want the spikes in.

[3}: An Ice-Pick, or something pointy to poke through the hole.

[4}: screw-on Spikes

(I got mine from http://www.studsandspikes.com/)

[5}: Random wooden block. ->
(This will be your safety "don't-drill-through-my-fingers" block.)

[6}: Fav pair of boots, heels, or shoes of choice.
(the booties above are an old pair from Payless that I never wore)

[steps]:

[1]: Carefully drill holes into your shoe.

[2]: After the holes are made, poke through them with your tool of choice and even out/expand the holes so the screws and spike can slide through easily.

[3]: Screw in your spikes. Follow directions as indicated by www.studsandspikes.com

[4]: "Carefully"...rock out and party!!

DIY Bow Heels

In a world where heels are being accessorized with everything, you don't necessarily need to spend a fortune to get stylish shoes. All you need is a little glue and bows!

[materials]:

[1]: Gem Tac Glue / Crazy Glue / or anything strong.

{2}: Two Bows of your choosing.

( I got mine from Strawberry. It was originally on a head band lol )

[3]: Pair of your fav heels.

( Got mine from Nine West on sale baby! )

{4}: A couple of laundry clothes pins to hold everything in place while the glue dries.

[steps]:

[1]: Decide where to place your bows/accessories.

{2}: Place glue on desired area.

[3]: Lay bow on glued area and hold with clothes pins.

{4}: Repeat steps on other heel.

[5]: Wait overnight to let them completely dry.

Ta da! You're ready for a night on the town. It doesn't even need to stop with bows....add what ever and how many things you want.

Glue is a girl's best friend! ;-)
