Create Your Own Creepers - A Shoes DIY

Recently I went to a birthday where a friend’s son had a pair of creepers. I was immediately reminded of the shoes of my teen years. If we were not in combat boots or skate shoes we were sporting a pair of creepers. The little wee pair was so cute I was determined Baxter would have a pair. Well I was determined I would make Baxter a pair.

Little Black Heels Designer Challenge

We gave our designers a challenge this month in honor of New Year's!  They were asked to turn a plain pair of black pumps into a glitzy pair using just a few of our favorite Tulip products! We love how each black pump turned out so different!

Pretty Payless Shoe DIY

We must say we were quite enamored by these pretty high heeled sandles in our office! Lauren Binci, our Product Engineering Specialist here at iLoveToCreate created them and as you can see she's just as talented of a crafter as she is a product engineer!

Here's how she created the shoes from start to finish!


Lauren started off with a plain pair of shoes purchased from our local Payless Shoe Store!


She then added pretty flower accents and doodles all over the shoe using Tulip® Fabric Markers.


After she was done with the markers, she added metallic and shimmery dots using Tulip® Beads in a Bottle™ Paint.


Lauren then added some plum ribbon for laces! Here's a detail of the final product!

Great job Lauren! You did a fabulous job!
