Louboutin - DIY - (Guest Post)

Red bottoms are everywhere. You can't deny their influence on classic, sophisticated fashion. Everyone from Oprah, Nicki Minaj, and your hottest housewife owns a pair of these elite kicks. I, too, fancy a pair of Louboutins, hopefully Santa will bring a pair along with the iPad 2. However, my blogger pal, Champagne, over at I Have A Deer, decided not to wait on Santa but create a completely amazing Louboutin DIY shoe of her own. 

Check out her post below.

DIY TUTORIAL: LOUBOUTIN SHOES FROM OLD SHOES

Some days ago I saw this pair of Louboutin shoes when I realized I had some shoes that were really close to them.
Here how I make them (: Hope you like the final result!

The Original Shoe

Things you'll need
-High Heels Shoes
-Black spray paint
-Red spray paint
-Hot glue
-Gold Buttons

Time
I made them in two days, it takes a bit to get them dry

Cost
Louboutin: 769$
Mine: 20€ in total

First of all take your shoes, I had to cut the straps


-With some tape and sheets from newspaper cover your shoes and let only the soles uncovered


-Spray paint the soles in red


-Once dry, cover the soles (be careful to the tape on the paint!!!) and spray paint the shoes in black


-Once dry, you should get something like this


-Then, cut the buttons-things (anyone knows what's their name?) to get a smooth surface

 

-Start sticking the gold buttons near the laces with hot glue


(My father's hands! He helped me so much with this project :D)


-Now take a plastic thing (mine is from a rubber box) to get a bit of red pain. Of course if you already have red liquid paint, you can skip this step (;


-With a little soft brush take some paint and cover the black spaces on the soles

I think the shoes are just lovely.
