Prada Inspired Shoes and Sunglass remake Part Deux (I'm Fancy)

School is just around the corner, and I wanted to refashion these shoes before we came back....nothin' like waiting until the last minute huh? We start Monday. Sheesh!

I asked my students in May what I should do to these shoes.....I received some great ideas!

From river stones, to completely changing the shoes into furry cats, complete with whiskers and all to a galaxy scene with rhinestones.

Choices, choices.

I'll take a walk and think about it.

I did what any self-respecting art teacher would do.

I spray painted them black with some left over paint.

Ok. Now what?

I really liked the galaxy idea, and the rhinestone idea....but I've been inspired by Prada lately too. Those big gems and pops of bling!

Prada Prada Everywhere!

Big Gems.

Bling Bling!

Glue em' down!

Boom!

Back to school shoes! Revamped!

Thank you Jessica J. for the rhinestone idea. You will be getting a prize when I see you this fall. :)

Since I had those gems already out, and I was heartbroken about mu first pair of Prada inspired sunnies, I decided to make myself another pair.

If you have forgotten what that refashion was about, you can check it out HERE.

I scored these freebees at a table that was giving them out for an advertisement for their company.

SCORE!

They are not brightly colored, but they were FREE!

Free Sunglasses! Yay!

Glue some BIG bling! and done!

I'll be rockin' these on my way to school this year with my new, old shoes!

Graduation Gown not just for Graduates Anymore

This discarded, and loved-no-more graduation gown was calling to me from the thrift store rack. It was perfect for this time of year when teachers say goodbye tearfully to some, and not-so-tearfully to others. But we love them all anyway. Heeeeey! Over here! Buy me and give me a new life!! So I did. Sally liked the dress much better once I picked off those sleeves! She thought it was a perfect resting spot. I chopped the bottom a bit, folded it twice because it was fray-fray-central, and I hemmed it all up. I could use the chopped off bottom piece as a belt or use an existing one. Choices.... The dress is all white so this time, I decided to go with a darker brown belt, and some metallic sandals. Congrats and good luck to all the 2015 graduates! I'm ready for the ceremony! See you next time!

Vacay T-shirt and Shirt Dress Refash

Got a plain black T? Make it fancy by embroidering some letters or pictures on it! I picked my word: RESFEBER Definition: The restless race of the traveler's heart before the journey begins. We are planning a summer trip, and I'm gearing up for just a carry on for the plane! No time for baggage claim! But I gotta be stylish ya know? I measured out how big I wanted the letters to be and sectioned them off in equal parts with some chalk. Let the stitching begin! I did a basic chain stitch for all the letters. This is when the thread is doubled and you stitch up through the middle of the previous stitch creating a "chain" look. I'm ready to go! I really like the way the v-neck highlights the placement of the word. The white embroidery thread adds a nice contrast, but you could do all the colors! Next up: Craft Party I try to get my friends to craft with me a couple times a year. I don't...

That's Cray!

The first day of school is upon us....errr...me, and I needed a shirt that said "'I'm cool, artsy, and nerdy" all at the same time. I though about it for a while and came up with an idea. I had some of this leftover fabric from an art teachery dress that I made, and it sparked an idea. Cute fabric right? I scored a black T-shirt from the thrift store for $2.00! It seemed never worn, and no fading! I love soft T-shirts! I also had these iron on letters left over from a project from years ago....yes, I still had them cuz' ya never know! Letters, fabric, T-shirts, OH MY! I ironed on my cool, nerdy, artsy saying and figured out where I wanted the fabric to go Oh Yeah! I decided on only one shoulder(because that's different, and crazy!), and a stri...
