DIY leather shoe decorations

 

Shoe decorations has always been my addiction, a pair of plain white or black shoes works as a blanc canvas for me- I need to take the shoes to another level with the added decoration- make a pair of unique, one-of-a-kind shoes.

Here I have added a leather bow to a pair of NIKE sneakers bought second hand.

And a pair of black leather ankle boots made i Finland (second hand purchase) got a makeover with a leather bow too.

Belt buckle shoe decoration

Tired with your basic black leather ballerinas? Here is an easy solution for all of you DIY interested. I had a lot of wood belt buckles, just plain wood color. By painting the buckles with different motifs, here animal fur inspired, I got a pile of unique decorative buckles that I can now use as an interesting detail in my DIY works. Here I attached the buckles into basic leather ballerinas by first piercing the leather in the front of the shoe where I wanted the buckles to sit. I made leather fringes to make the buckles stand out.
