After my mom saw the zebra duct tape on my platform shoes yesterday she wanted her own pair of duct tape shoes. Specifically, Hello Kitty duct tape. We saw it awhile ago at target but couldn’t find any reason to buy it ($5.99 a roll!), until now that is. ;p

Over the summer I actually did promise my mom I’d decorate a pair of black wedges for her. It’s a little late but… here they are!

Here’s the before shot along with the supplies I used (not much :p ). Still deciding if I’m going to spray the heels with a gloss coating to protect the tape better…

All done! :D  More info in the progress post here~

Not quite finished yet, but this is the first time I’ve gotten to try them on! Platform sneakers~~

Charlotte Free was selling a pair of platform sneakers in my size but I couldn’t afford them.. but it was just the push I needed to start making my own pair. :p I’ve been meaning to do this for at least a year now. And after seeing Yume Ninja’s awesome pair I wanted to make them even more.

I still have to sand and tape them, but almost there! Originally I was going to use black duct tape but now after seeing how pretty the shoes are being colorful, I might go with hot pink zebra-striped duct tape instead..

Annie Spandex has a great tutorial on platfor shoes in case anyone is interested in making their own pair. :]

Oh, and this is the before shot. :D I think I got these shoes for $10 at TJ Max years ago while shopping with Melissa and Julie..

edit: The finished pair can be seen here :D

My mom got me the paint splatter jeffrey campbell boots for Christmas. *o*

Apparently my parents were out shoe shopping one day and my dad recognized the style because he went to LA with me and saw all the knock-offs in the garment district (one of which I purchased, haha..). My mom knew I’d like the paint splatter style, and they only had my size left and were on sale. D:

So now I have beautiful, comfy jc’s that are never coming off my feet. c;

(I am still shorter than my entire family even though they are platforms..)

(Also, I love these because they remind me of Pollock, but in shoe form.)

Should I get these platform boots?? The listing ends tonight and they are only $13, which includes shipping..

I figure I will decorate/paint/glue shit on the heels if I got them. But the question is.. when would I ever wear them? :p For a couple photoshoots? Maybe an event or party in the future.. is it worth the price?

Aw haha I already did ;p

Well, they’re a different style shoe but the same idea? :]
