DIY : Blink Eye Glitter Shoe

Hey peaches,

CINDERELLA is coming out soon in theatres!!! Im super excited! like thrilled overboard and to know that theres gonna bit of FROZEN before cinderella , I'm like HURRY UP 13Th MARCHH!! :D

Anyways Im gonna settle down, gotta low down my excitement. I Got a DIY here for you (cinderella inspired even though it ain't a glass slipper its all about GLITTERS!)

Okay so lately i've been obsessing over chiara ferragni shoes especially the quirky ones, like the blink eye glitter shoes? But the price has been not so affordable for me...So what i did is i made my own  easy DIY of the same look-a-like Ferragni shoes and that is way too affordable for me and for anyone. ^_^

CHECK IT OUT BELOW!

All you'll need :

a) a ballerina flat pump shoe ( PS: textile flats better then patent flats)

b) glitter powder

c) glitter glue

d) acrylic decor paint 

e) felt , Paint brush, scissor, tape and fabric colour pen and fabric glue!

I got this really cheap shoe from 'OVS' it's an italian brand kinda like the 'Primark' of Italy. 7 euros for the shoe and 10 euros for the other materials so all together it cost me just 17 euros to create a whole new shoe ^_^

To begin you have to first tape the sole of the shoe because you don't want the glitters to get all messy around and it will save yourself from cleaning up after you finish.

I used acrylic decor to fully paint up my shoe before i put the glitters. Depending on the colour of glitter you wanna use for your shoe you can use that colour for the acrylic paint too.

After you finish painting , spray the glitters on the shoe the acrylic paint helps stick the glitter. And oh yes! you wanna use a paper or something below while you work because you don't want the glitters everywhere around your room. And you could also reuse the glitter thats fallen off the shoe to spray it again.

Do the same for the other pair of shoe too.

Leave it to dry overnight. in the morning shake the loose glitters off the shoe.

Next draw the eye and on the felt. you need to be really precise on this while you cut the eye out. this is the only difficult bit which aint that tough girls. A little pain for a glittery future ;)

After you've cut the required eye and the eyelash, use the fabric glue to help stick on the shoe. leave it for some hours. i left it overnight cos i made mine at midnight.

In the morning my shoe was all ready to be swayed around!!

Peaches,

HAPPY FRIDAY! hope your week has been going good. its the weekend again...two weeks and ill be packing my bags to be home ^_^. i cannot wait!!!

My exams are still on , can't wait for freedom days! 

Anyways Here's a post to some DIY accessories that i made. 

Taking my inspiration from dreamcatcher i came up with two accessories- a head gear and a necklace. 

a simple hair clip was used to create the base after which i used thin brass wire (0.80mm- 5m) which i coiled two together n created the shape i wanted. and then on top of which i used a much thinner wire (0.30mm) to give the finishing over it.

the wire beads i got it from a local craft store called 'fantasy craft'. That store makes me go mad because i always want to buy just everything there. 

for the necklace i used readymade coiled threads and triple layered them as i wanted and then stitched the beads on em.

Stay peachy,

Figure Skating

Love figure skating?? 

here's a school project i worked on for Chanel. 

Chanel hasn't created yet outfits for figure Skating sport and when i got figure skating as the sport to design for, it was a very challenging and yet very interesting project to start.

Chanel known for its tweed and the classic black-n-white look, i tried to maintain the same stream by not going OTT.

Figure skating dresses can be too wild and horrendous sometimes, so bright too much glittery. some are too cute, too pretty! Some of them we want to wear it as an everyday wear because they're too beautiful. 

Its amazing how the figure skating fashion change over the ages, its so inspiring! i took my inspiration from the Vintage skater outfits.

Material is an important thing to keep in mind because of the routine the skaters follow it needs to be comfortable as well as compatiable to their dance routines.

 Camellia's the flower of Chanel, i could't miss that , could i?? ;)

My skater shoe design. use of leather and Jacquard lace.

I was asked to design a window display as well and this is what i came up with. I used the Chanel symbol for hanging down my figure skating mannequin in a dance routine position.

i used the normal spotlights to create the stage light effect. Using different skating position images on the spotlight, i used the light to create a shadowy figure skating dance routine on the background.

You can check out the short video of the window display HERE

Stay Peachy!
