Creating Fashion Bling with Dyed Satin Shoes!

Need a dazzling pair of shoes for New Year’s Eve?  Well, dig deep in your closet and maybe you can find a pair of white satin shoes from a wedding long ago.  Or, perhaps you snagged a pair of shoes from a thrift store find. Shoes are so easy to dye and make a fashion statement when transformed with a trendy color.  To achieve a professional look, be sure to line the inside of each shoe with painter’s tape, and apply tape anywhere else you don’t want the dye to be.  Then mix a small amount of dye (we used Evening Blue) with 1cup of very hot water and brush on the dye using a foam brush.  Rayon cord was dyed to match the shoes; then coiled up to make a nautical detail complete with a star-shaped stud. And, pyramid studs were hot glued to the straps.  Adding these extra embellishments gives the shoes their bling!  Click here for the full tutorial.
