do it yourself - the ballet flat

Last year while my sister and I were out looking for Christmas presents we found a pair of flats, 2 for $14. They were both some bronzy ugly colour but 7 dollar shoes seemed worth it at the time. A year later, not so much. So I took these old bronzy shoes and decided to make them useful. After looking at Susie Bubble's shoes I took my old ones, some black shoe polish, and covered the shoes in black. Black shoe polish dyes the shoes so that none of the bronze shows through. Then I poked holes in the side of the shoes and wove black ribbon through them. Now I've got some cool kicks.
