Caroline Issa  for L.K. Bennett parrot shoes
the inspiration - Your DIY pick:  Caroline Issa  for L.K. Bennett parrot shoes

Welcome to the "Pick your DIY" final stage. You, dear readers, pinned what you love around the web on our Pinterest board and we, crafty fairies (7 diy bloggers) transformed your favorite stuff in a DIY tutorial.
We'll keep the board active to collect diy inspirations and diy wishes so read how to get invited and start pinning if you haven't yet.
Today it's my turn to unveil the DIY tutorial of one of the most voted item, you'll see the other 6 on Sunday.

Firstly I would like to thank you for joining and for picking these super fun shoes that I didn't notice, how could I miss them? They scream spring with all these colors.
They are limited edition shoes designed for L.K. Bennett by the fashion icon Caroline Issa. Only 300 pair were made, you can  buy them here.
I would have called these shoes " fiesta latina" because they're so fun!
Ok now back to the DIY tutorial because this is what you asked me and not to give them a name.
Let's see together how to make these shoes (with very basic supply)!


Due settimane fa io e altre 6 diy bloggers abbiamo inaugurato per voi la bacheca di Pinterest "Pick your DIY". Voi avete salvato i vostri articoli preferiti dal web e noi con le nostre manine li abbiamo trasformati in tutorial di moda fai da te.
Grazie per aver partecipato numerosi, la bacheca rimarrà aperta per raccogliere i vostri desideri, leggete qui come come aderire se già non lo avete fatto.
Oggi vedrete il tutorial per realizzare uno degli articoli più votati, le scarpe di L.K. Bennett disegnate dalla fashion icon Caroline Issa;  scoprirete tutti gli altri domenica.
Complimenti per la scelta, sono delle scarpe deliziose e coloratissime adatte a inaugurare la primavera. Vediamo come realizzarle.


supply
You'll need:
  • trims ( 1,2 meters of red heart trim - 4 flowers of lace trim (or lace applique or flower patches)- 2 meters yellow trim)
  • glue
  • scrap of leather
  • left over wool yarn in many colors
  • shoes
  • fabric markers
It doesn't matter the kind of trimming you're going to use, pick them for their bright colors, there are plenty to choose from at the haberdashery.

Occorrente:
  • trine (1,2 metri di trina cuori - 4 fiori di trina di pizzo o toppe a forma di fiore - 2 metri di trina gialla)
  • colla
  • un ritaglio di pelle
  • fili in lana
  • scarpe
  • pennarelli stoffa
Scegliete le trine che più vi piacciono in merceria, prendetene di colori sgargianti.


Glue your trims around the edge of your shoe. I glued the red one over the yellow to recreate the zig zag pattern of the original shoe. You may be luckier than me and find some zig zag trims at your local store that are closer to the original.

Incollate le trine sul bordo della scarpa. I cuori ricreano il motivo zig-zag della scarpa originale. Se siete fortunate troverete una trina zig-zag già pronta in merceria.


This is how they look when done. The original shoes are more pointy than mine.

Ecco come appariranno finite.


Color lace flowers with fabric markers and let them try.

Colorate i fiori in pizzo con i pennarelli per la stoffa. Comprando le toppe a forma di fiore potrete saltare questo step.


Glue your flowers at the tip of the toe and at the top of the heel. I didn't liked how the mesh part looked onto shoes so I filled it with thread making it look embroidered.

In this case also flower patches could work very well. No coloring is needed just glueing. Unfortunately I didn't find any I liked but I suggest to search for them so you can jump one step.

Incollate i fiori sulla punta della scarpa e alla sommità del tacco. 
Non mi convinceva l'effetto della retina sulla scarpa quindi ho riempito il fiore di filo dandogli un aspetto ricamato.


Cut two little pieces of leather and glue them at the ankle.

Ritagliate due pezzetti di pelle e incollateli sul retro del tallone.



Cut two strips of leather 2,5 cm wide and 25 cm long and fold them in three to get the ankle strap. Glue a little trim onto it to decorate it. Sew a snap button at the edge to fasten it around the ankle.

Now the funniest part. While making these shoes I could try a technique that I saw many times on Pinterest. It's an easy way to make miny pom poms using a fork.  The original tutorial is by Vivid please.

Tagliate due striscie di pelle larghe 2,5cm e lunghe 25cm. Piegatele in tre per ottenere il laccetto che cinge la caviglia. Incollate la trina decorativa sul lato dritto. Cucite due bottoni automatici ai margini per legare il laccetto alla caviglia.

Per realizzare i pom pom ho utilizzato una tecnica facile e divertente che ho visto molte volte su Pinterest.
Il tutorial originale è di Vivid Please.

I used some left over yarn to make them. Now pom poms are ready to be knotted onto shoes. And you've done! Shoes are ready!

Infinite love bracelet DIY

valentine's day gift idea, gift idea, infinite math, bracelet diy, fashion diy, diy

Here's another Valentine's day little jewel. This bracelet doesn't have any closure, well if you receive a gift that is a symbol of infinite love you shouldn't take it off...just kidding. You can make it long enough to put it on or add a closure next to the infinite symbol. I think it's a nice alternative to hiding it on the other side of the bracelet. If you think this bracelet can make a nice last minute gift idea I suggest you to pair it with these funny nerd Valentine's cards I saw on true blue me&you.

More Valentine's day diy ideas here.






Cut a piece of metallic wire and twist it 


Curl it in the shape of eight and cut away the loop


Connect the infinite symbol to a piece of chain with two jump rings.
Regulate the lenght so you can put it on without using a closure or insert a clasp to connect to the infinite symbol.

Here some DIY ideas for you.
Did you know that you can cut out a heart shape out of a potato and obtain a fab stamping tool? You'll just have to dip it into the fabric paint and decorate your clothes with it very quickly.


Il giorno di San Valentino si avvicina. Indosserete un capo che celebri l'amore?
Ecco qualche idea per realizzarlo.
Potrete realizzare un timbro ritagliando la forma di un cuore da un tubero. Basterà intingerlo nel colore per la stoffa e realizzare così dei cuori tutti uguali.

Fluffy feathers shoes DIY

alexander wang fluffy shoes,alexander wang fall 2011,antonio marras spring 2012 shoes,fluffy shoes 2012 spring
the inspiration Alexander Wang heels fall 2011 - Antonio Marras spring 2012

Last summer we talked about the fluffy shoes designed by Alexander Wang for fall 2011 asking if they were wearable or not. We both agreed that they were very dramatic. If you tried to forget about them i'll tell you: the trend of the fluffy shoes is here to stay; in fact during the latest Milano fashion week (read my report of Milano fashion week here) a sassy, fluffy detail appeared again on shoes in the Antonio Marras spring 2012 collection. Feathers are not suitable for daily wear but they can make special a pair of shoes for a evening (maybe new year's eve?), so what if they were detachable? In this fashion diy you'll see how to create a detachable feather clip decoration that can be added on top of your shoes. Since it is detachable it can decorate wedding shoes, an headband, it can be used as a brooch, as a ring, you can pin it wherever you like! You can give a new look to your shoes in minutes! What do you think of the result?


Le scarpe disegnate da Alexander Wang, sono di quelle che dividono le donne in due gruppi: quelle che le amano e quelle che le odiano. Se pensavate che fosse un trend da archiviare vi informo che le scarpe "pelose" sono comparse nelle ultime sfilate di Milano nella collezione di Antonio Marras. Tutte concordiamo siano molto sceniche e magari poco adatte ad essere indossate tutti i giorni, magari solo per una serata speciale (magari proprio Capodanno?). E se fossero rimuovibili? Nel fai-da-te di oggi vi mostrerò come realizzare una decorazione in piume rimuovibile che può essere inserita sulle scarpe. Essendo rimuovibile questa decorazione può essere appuntata su cerchietti,giacche,anelli, dovunque vogliate. Sono necessari pochi step per donare un nuovo look alle vostre scarpe, che ne pensate?
