Retro Cherry Shoe Clips

By Admin1 on September 9, 2013 in Back to School, Wearable

Sometimes I feel like September is really new year. Back to school time calls for getting organized and cleaning out closets. As I was purging my closet, I found a pair of cute, polka dot shoes.

On their own they are pretty cute but, being the crafter I am, I couldn’t leave well enough alone so I was off to the studio to create some jewelry for my shoes.

You can buy shoe clips blanks at most craft stores. Buy a dozen. I promise you are going to be addicted to the craft once you find out how easy it is to do.

As for buttons, Buttons Galore & More’s large supply of novelty buttons means the possibilities are endless. Turn your favorite pair of shoes or pumps into cute retro shoes with cherries, decorate your child’s shoes with back to school buttons, or get a jump-start on the holidays and make some Christmas themed shoe clips. By simply adding shoe clips, you can turn one pair of shoes into endless looks.

Instructions for shoe clips

1. Glue a novelty button onto a plain button. Set aside to dry.

2. Once buttons are securely glued together, attach your button creation to the shoe clip blank. Make sure the button is glued onto the clip so that when you clip it onto your shoe, the design is oriented in the way you want it.

TIP: Once you have glued the button onto the shoe clip blank, set it upside down onto a clean surface to dry. This will keep the buttons from sliding off the shoe clip while drying.

3. Once the clip is dry, attach it to your shoes and skip down the street.
