    Refashion for women: With A Little Bit Of Lace...

    DIY: Fringe Shoes Lately, fringe can be found on anything and everything - purses, t-shirts, dresses, necklaces - just to name a few. This simple yet intricate looking trend can add a playful touch to even the most mundane items. I personally love the accents of fringe found on vintage shoes, so I decided to dress up a pair of plain black kitten heels with a little fringe. This one is super easy and super quick!

    DIY: Sweatshirt Blazer *EDITED 2/9/11 with reader suggestions!* So, I made this sweatshirt (slash cardigan slash blazer?) kind of on a whim. Didn't plan it up, improvised and made it up as I went along. Let's hope it makes sense. By all means, if you decide to make this - improvise the heck out of it and see what works best for you ! ALSO - save two of the scraps leftover from this project. I'll indicate what pieces to save. DIY's using

    Accessorize your Flip Flops   What is the easiest way to dress up a flip flop? Add a simple shoe accessory. These clips are great on any shoes but I love the way they make a regular flip flop fun. BOWS: Take a piece of fabric and cut two rectangular pieces equal in size. Then cut two smaller strips, these will be the center of the bows. Fold the rectangles in half wrong sides together and sew down one end and one side. Repeat

    Flip Flop Fun Series - Sparkly and Interchangeable Supplies: -flip flops -Glitter (Martha Stewart's is AWESOME!) -Glitter glue (the only experience I have is with Martha's but I'm sure there are other options out there)   I used the brush attached to the glue lid to apply a layer of glue to the flip flop strap.  Don't worry about this being too messy on the strap (you can use a q-tip to clean the unwanted glitter later). Sprinkle glitter all over the glue.  Remember that glitter is

I just kind of figured it out as I went. And I think it turned out FABULOUS! Here is a peak. . . Now, here is

    Fancy Fuzzy Flip Flops I made these fancy flip flops for my great niece Laney.  She tried them on today for the first time and I asked her if she liked them and she hesitantly said, “Sure, but they are a little fuzzy”.  I started out with a plain pair of pink flip flops… and knotted two cut ribbons at a time all the way around the top strap. On top of each knot I placed a dot of fabric glue to
