Everyone loves a little bling on their shoes!

I bought these Converse shoes at the Thrift Shop for a couple bucks. The washed up like new and I added a few embelishments and now my princess has some new favorite shoes. The best part is that she can be comfortable wearing her converse shoes with a skirt or dress and still be fashionable!

Miss Eva is already picking out her favorite shoes and outfits to wear!

If you'd like to make a pair yourself, here's what you'll need:

some Aleene's Jewel-It, flat gems, and ribbon for laces.

You will need to scuff your shoes with a rough sponge & clean

them with rubbing alcohol before you adhere the gems.

It is best to use tweezers to align the gems.

5 Minute Projects

Here's a few quickie 5 minute projects!

A new spring Blankie

The flowered side is a soft lightweight fuzzy cotton. The opposite side is a silky polyestered. I rounded the corners by using a drinking glass as my template. I serged the two pieces together (wrong sides together) and voila...done in 5!

A Heart Barrette

I cut a heart shape from a piece of paper as a template and then cut 2 hearts from red felt. I added a barrette on the lower bottom heart. I hand-stitched the two together with white embroidery thread. Actually, this project took a bit longer than the blankie...maybe 10 min.

Barrette Hanger
Here's a really quick one. I bought the pre-painted top pieces from Michaels along with some fancy coordinating ribbon (one thick, one thin). I hot-glued the ribbon on to make a barrette holder (no sewing involved!). These are super fast and you can make a bunch of these at one time once you've got your gun warmed up and voila...done in 3-5!

Princess Ariel Pillow

My last one is this Princess Ariel Pillow. I completed this one in about 5-10 min. I used the serger for all of it.

I love my serger!!
