Happy Friday and soon to be Pink Saturday! Have you thought about giving Mom a unique pair of sandals? Warmer months are just around the corner and she will definitely love wearing a new pair...I believe that pressed flowers should be  proudly worn and decided to alter, embellish and turn these sandals into a fashion icon!
Are you ready to make your own with me? Pressed Flowers Sandals Tutorial - Part One.

MATERIALS:


Sandals
Tulip® Fashion Glitter™ {Gold Fine Jewel}
Tulip® Fashion Glitter Bond™


INSTRUCTIONS:
1- Choose a pair of plain sandals. Mine are white.
2- Select the flowers you want to use for your design. Mine are pressed Pink Larkspur.

TIP: It is better to glitter sandals first to avoid sprinkling unwanted flakes on pressed flowers. Place a paper sheet on your working table to catch loose glitter and place it back in its jar.

3- Dab Fashion Glitter Bond™ on heels and straps.
4- Sprinkle Tulip® Fashion Glitter™ {Gold Fine Jewel} right on them.
5- Let dry completely.

Come back for Pressed Flowers Sandals Tutorial - Part Two!

Let's head over our host Beverly's blog "How Sweet the Sound" for more fabulous Pinkness! Thanks so much for visiting me today and have a wonderful weekend.

LV said...

Thank you, but no thank you. My poor feet hurt just looking at these shoes. That is part of the reason I have such foot problesm today is from wearing too tight and high heeled shoes. They are not worth it.

Gabriela Delworth said...

Hello LV,

Who said that looking trendy doesn't hurt...a little...may be?
Take a look at the runways! LOL!
These sandals are very comfortable. :o)
