DIY: embellished flats

these are the shoes i'm wearing today.

believe it or not, these were a gift.

yep.

my sweet friend, jennifer,

embellished these flats

JUST FOR ME last year.

to a pair of leopard flats (from target),

she hot-glued

vintage red bakelite beads from a bracelet

and vintage pea coat buttons.

can you stand it??

they are aDORable.

{very comfy, too!}

here is a list of "toppings":

beads

buttons

patterned ribbon
embroidered patches

tassels

shells

stones

costume jewelry

{a locket?? a brooch??}

game pieces

{dominoes??  monopoly roadsters??}

coins

{shiny copper pennies on turquoise flats??}
