Pretty Poofy Pumps... Tutorial

 i love a good shoe... but a GREAT shoe, 

(lets just say i couldn't stop staring at my own feet at church on sunday)

These shoes already had a great shape (very important) but they were just shoved in a corner in my shoe closet, getting no love :(

so i "beautified" them....

you will need:

• scrap fabric
• scissors
• a good sized needle
• matching thread
• glue (if you want..)

cut out 8 or nine squares per shoe. make your squares as big as you want the base of your flower to be.

fold into quarters...

cut out a heart shape...

there is your flower...

the first one is your base...

gather the others and tack them down in the center of your base flower petals facing out. save one flower to set right on top (leave this one open) sew it right into the center to cover up all the folds and stitching...

i sewed my flower right onto the shoe (you need a pretty sturdy needle) but you could probably glue it (the hot glue gun is one of my favorite inventions of all time)

yum.

a little extra explanation...

i guess i kind of suck at tutorials because i like to craft at night in my super dark living room so i don't usually take pics... here is my attempt to explain how i made the flower...

 yes i realize this is a picture of a document on my computer screen...   

(please forgive my lack of computer skills!)

i hope this helps!
