Ring Holder Tutorial

 I needed a cute new way to display rings for all the upcoming shows and fairs, 

so I decided to finally make ring holders out of heels like the 

one I saw in Ruche:

I just LOVE the nautical stripes, but I couldn't find any white (or blue) heels at the DI, so I decided to go a little fancier. 

I forked over a whopping $4 for these heels. 

=)

 After cleaning/disinfecting (...ya never know!) them, I painted the bottoms red like 

beloved Christian Louboutin shoes! 

{acrylic paint worked great}

I decided to do each shoe different, since I wouldn't be wearing them ever anyways.

For the first one, I cut up a bunch of little circles, rounded the edges, and hot glued them on. Then I glued a rhinestone button on for some bling!

 For the next shoe I was feeling a little lazy, so I just took the left over black material and glued it here and there... I ended up LOVING the look- I would totally rock these shoes. 

 But I need these shoes to really grab people's attention, so I added a little sparkle...

I thought I had foam (for the inserts) but I couldn't find it tonight, so I just grabbed some scrap fabric and pillow stuffing. 

There is probably a much nicer, more professional way to do this- but oh well.

;)

1. Cut a rectangle out of scrap fabric

2. Hot glue long ends together

3. Stuff it full of stuffing...

4. And hot glue the ends

5. Then I just glued them into the shoe...

Easy!!

And I'm sure you guys can find way cuter shoes to do this with- our DI didn't have a great selection this week...

Ruche's version: $18.99 (excluding s&h)

My version: $4!
