Anjelika Temple

Apr 08, 2019

No matter whether you’re all about the ballet flat, love a strappy pair of sandals, or are always looking for color-blocked height, we’re guessing that you like a good pair of shoes. But if lately you find yourself looking at the bottom of your closet longing for something a little more one-of-a-kind, a bit more creative, we can help. It’s the perfect time to DIY! Here are 25 inventive ways to deck out your kicks, from jeweled heels to neon sneaks and everything in between.

1. Gold Tipped Ballet Flats: We created these lucky flats for St. Patrick’s Day, but they’re pretty fly all year round. (via Brit + Co)

2. Studded Converse: Add a little punk to your favorite pair of Chucks. (via Brit + Co)

3. Spiked Heels: Roar! These are fierce and a little bit dangerous. Don’t mess. (via Brit + Co)

4. Red Saddle Shoes: Saddle shoes are cute, but we’re especially digging this red-and-white take on the classic. (via A Beautiful Mess)

5. Color Blocked Heels: Maybe you just want a pop of color? Use spray paint to add a color blocked heel to any pair of Mary Janes or Oxfords. (via Brit + Co)

6. Studded Sandals: Take a basic pair of flat sandals and stud ’em up! (via Brit + Co)

7. Laced Heels: Are your favorite heels getting a little stretched out? Or you just want to change things up? Add laces! (via Brit + Co)

8. Leather Fringe: Adding some fringed flair to your flat sandals is definitely a good idea. (via Brit + Co)

9. Neon Converse: Using VELCRO Brand ONE-WRAP Brights, we created a new take on the old-school no-laces sneak. (via Brit + Co)

10. Pom-Pom Shoe Clip: Bookmark this for holiday parties, Christmas morning, and St. Patrick’s Day. (via Lovely Indeed)

11. Glitter Heels: All that glitters is gold, after all. (via Brit + Co)

12. String Stripes: Another take on tricked out sandals. All we did to customize these was wrap hemp cord around the central strap. (via Brit + Co)

13. DIY Belted Boots: Finally, a fun way to belt old or worn out boots! (via Brit + Co)

14. Sandal Trim Hacks: Satin bows and trims for all! Tie the excess ribbon in your hair or around your beach bag and you’ll be perfectly coordinated. (via Brit + Co)

15. Gold Glitter Star Boots: These boots were made for walking, and that’s just what they’ll do. (via A Beautiful Mess)

16. Kate Spade New York Sandals: These sold out as soon as they launched and we’re still not over it. Luckily, making your own is a cinch. (via Brit + Co)

17. DIY Shoe Appliqués: Bring a little pizzaz to your work-friendly shoes. All your coworkers will be abuzz. (via The House That Lars Built)

18. DIY Fuzzy Slippers: You can never have enough comfy things to slip into once you get home. (via Brit + Co)

19. Metallic Shoe Update: Take your school-days loafers from drab to fab with a quick coat of spray paint in time for your next party. (via The Glitter In My Tea)

20. Rhinestone Slider Sandals: You have no excuse not to adorn your feet with this stunning slides. (via Club Crafted)

21. Embroidered Converse: Bring new life to your tired sneaks with embroidery thread and some fun patterns. (via Brit + Co)

22. Embellished Heels: Flair isn’t just for your jean jacket. (via JojoTastic)

23. Springy Pom Sandal: These flirty sandals will turn heads no matter where you go. (via A Beautiful Mess)

24. Removable Tassel Pom Shoe Clips: Don’t let one pair have all the fun. With these removable clips, you can change it up whenever you want. (via Sarah Hearts)

25. Floral Embroidered Shoes: Adding a pop of floral beauty to your street shoes.. (via Paper & Stitch)

We Scoured The Internet — These Are Our Favorite Decorating Ideas For Fall

Ahhh, fall. There are so many things to love about this time of year (give us ALL the sweaters and pumpkin-flavored eats). But, high on the list comes autumn decor — candles, throws, textiles — you name it. Of course, buying items and actually adding them to your room are two different things. So we're turning to Instagram for the best styling advice and inspo for the season. Scroll on to see everything you need to get those wheels turning!

@sbkliving: Sometimes, it only takes a chic doormat to transition your front steps for the season. Hello, fall!

@rachelpuccetti: Excuse us while we spend an entire lazy Sunday relaxing in this fall-infused space.

@farmhousetofrills: A monochrome mantel never looked so chic. (That fireplace pumpkin setup is seriously *genius*.)

@faith_hope_home: Greet guests with a fall-themed entrance to set the tone for a day of pumpkin carving or scary movie marathoning.

@simplysoutherncottage: Don't forget about those nooks and crannies! This entryway/mudroom situation is capturing our little harvest-loving hearts.

@6thirtydecor: Speaking of pumpkins, pick up a few extra gourds to pave the way into your cozy autumn abode.

@farmsteadonfirst: That guest bedroom you weren't sure what to do with it? Transform it into a rustic retreat with some fall signage and mustard-yellow and green accents.

@fiddleleafinteriors: We're going to take a second to *swoon* over this adorable kitchen setup. Those farmhouse accents and simple centerpiece setup? We're in love.

@ohmydearblog: Contrary to what you think, florals *aren't* just for spring. Bring them into your abode by selecting buds in moody tones to pay homage to the season.

@simply.mrs.z: Drawn to modern style? Play up the Halloween vibes by picking black, orange and brass accents to rock on places like your bookshelf. (Bonus points for carrying the theme over to your textiles.)

@drivewaytodreams_crystal: We're going to go ahead and give two thumbs up to all of these orange-hued accents. Backdropped with a neutral furnishings and they truly *pop*!

@cripcollectiveig: For those who don't want to go overboard with the "fall stuff" this one will speak to you. Compile a couple of cute throws and a minimalist pumpkin print on your mantle and you're set

@cavcottage: Who said fun pillows were limited to furnishings only? We're ALL about this entry display.

@houseon77th: This daybed setup is a *dream*. But actually, this would be the perfect space to doze off in come the colder days.

@kristenforgione: For a more festive Halloween look, overhaul your living space with a spooky handmade addition like this one. *Googles paper bat DIYs.*
