Whats the difference between these two shoes? I'll tell you, one was crafted for around $30.00, the other retails at free people for $168.00. So, Im gonna show you how I made these shoes to look like the expensive designer converse all-stars. It's so easy, and you'll be rockin' out in no time.
First, here is a list of materials you will need for this project:
- A pair of old converse high tops, or a new pair. Payless has a great cheap alternative for $19.99
- Buy either silver or gold pyramid studs. You can find them at your local craft store, or at kitkraft.biz
Take your shoes, and starting at the bottom, start piercing the studs through the fabric. It should go in relatively easy. Using tweezers or a thimble, bend the prongs in to eachother to secure the stud to the shoe. Continue this process until you have made one line of studs, and continue building on top of each row completed until you have achieved the desired look. I didn't want to completely cover my shoes, so I decided to make somewhat of a brick pattern, and stopped the rows randomly. You really can't go wrong in this, and afterwards you will have totally kick-ass shoes that you will get TONS of compliments on!
