Pretty shoe tutorial and an awesome giveaway!


I love a good DIY shoe tutorial! There’s been many on the blogosphere of late – glittery shoes, painted shoes and now I present you with an easy peasey way to brighten up your shoes thanks to FunkKit stickers.

You will need:
FunkKit stickers
Scissors
Pair of shoes/trainers
A pen

Step 1

Choose your design.

Step 2

Peel off the backing from the transparent plastic and place on your shoe where you want the sticker to go.

Step 3

Using the pen – draw the shape you want.

Step 4

Peel off the plastic and place onto the pattern.

Step 5

Cut out the pattern

Step 6

Peel off the plastic (and the pattern will come off too).

Step 7

Stick the pattern onto the desired area of the shoe and smooth down making sure to get rid of any creases. (If you do get creases don’t panic, it easily peels off and doesn’t lose its sticky so you can restick it.)

Step 8

Peel off the top layer of transparent plastic.

I picked these shoes up at a carboot for £2 and I absolutely love them now! After I pimped them up Tom said to me “Ooh are those new?” THEY ARE NOW!

I’m also really happy with how my trainers came out too

This awesome camera pattern matches the colours on the trainer so well!

I’m very jealous of both of these patterns – cupcakes AND skulls. Awesome – and how cute are these little robots?!

  1. My Converse (which used to be HOT PINK) would look amazing with robots on them (esp as I can't afford new trainers!), so I may have to investigate these further...
