Happy Valentine's Day!

Here's a fun way to dress up your tootsies for a big night out tonight! The ballet flats are basics from Target and I embellished them with brass components, ribbon and Elaine Ray's ceramic beads from Ornamentea. Yummy!

I basically stacked the components together and stitched them onto the shoes using needle and thread. (I should mention that I don't really know how to sew. So, if I can do it, anyone can!) This project appeared in the August 2008 issue of Simply Beads. You can download the complete instructions for free.

Katie - the shoes are lovely! They would make anyone's feet feel especially loved. Thanks for the wonderful idea.

Katie, I have not been able to download the instruction for the embellished ballerina slippers. Are the instructions still available?
