I saw a pair of Christain Louboutin shoes and fell in love, however the price tag was more than a bit off putting so I decided to make my own version. Louboutins: £988.60 Mine: Shoes: £4.99 (Salvation Army Charity Shop) Wiggely Eyes: £2.40 (Wilkinsons, 80p a packet) PVA Glue: £1.00 (Poundland) Total:£8.39 Saving £980.21 Note: Time does not include drying time, I left mine to dry overnight.

Instructions

  1. Small 100 0458 1310816500

    Take a pair of plain black shoes in a style of your choice. I chose a plain court shoe because it was the cheapest pair I could find.

  2. Small 100 0462 1310816564

    Then glue the eyes to the shoe however you like. I used PVA glue, but to make it a bit stronger you could use super-glue or something similar.

  3. Small 100 0464 1310829765

    Once you've covered your shoe you need to leave it to dry.

    And you're done. If you want them to look more like the Louboutins then you could also paint the sole red, but I prefered the black and white look.
