Flower Shoe Clips

Want to update a pair of flats? This took me no time and cost less than $5. You probably have all the supplies on hand!



Materials:
Felt (I used stiffened)
Small flowers
Bling
Paperclips



Directions:


Cut two circles out of felt, a little bigger than a quarter. 


Pull the heads off the flowers. Glue bling in the center of the flower


Then take the bottom off the flower


So it looks like this: 


Then chop some of the plastic stem off, so it's not so tall


Smear glue all over the back, like so:


 Then stick 'em on the felt circle. I put three on each circle


 The top of one and bottom of the other:


Next stick a paperclip in there. YES, a paperclip. 


Finally slip them on your shoes for a new look and a little sparkle! I used smaller clips and couldn't feel them when I walked.



What kind of shoe clips do you want to make?

    I love this idea! Such a simple, cheap way to add flair to your shoes!! All I wear are flats so I definitely want to try this to a pair.

    Paper clips?!?! Who would have guessed? Thanks for the tip. I was just thinking about how to jazz up my daughter's shoes for her halloween costume and you have solved my problem.

    How cute! My favorite flats came with flowers on them, but I am always wishing I bought them in different colors to go with all of my outfits! Now I can make them - thanks for the awesome idea!

    I love how you just used a paper clip to clip them on the shoe. That's so easy and it's something that everyone has at home. Thanks for sharing. Stumbled across you at a bowl full of lemons. I'm your newest follower. I'd love for you to come check me out too!
