Sneaky Upgrades

by Amber on September 29, 2009

This is the post in which I dip my toes in the DIY waters. Naturally it’s in a cheap, cheerful and shamefully easy manner.

I took last summer’s plimsolls  and gave them a wash, becasue they were showing the signs of too much adventuring in beer halls. The laces were excruiciatingly grim (ewww not showing you), so I removed them and looked around for something better.

And then you thread it...

Spying 1 metre of royal purple ribbon, I snipped it in half, sealed the ends with a lighter to prevent fraying and threaded the lengths into the sneakers. Voila!

Grey on grey on grey... plus purple!

They’re pretty much Lanvins now.

Simple but brilliant – I want to go out and buy sneakers now – I have ribbon but no sneakers :( Bisous
