Roll Back to the ’80s With a Pair of DIY Sequin Skates

If you haven’t heard, ’80s fashion is *SO* in. While there are definitely some trends that should stay in that decade, I’m all in for other looks like graphic sweatshirts and holographic apparel. When I brainstormed what I should do for this shoot, I looked up ’80s fashion and saw this awesome roller skating photo, and it was like a light when on! I wanted - no, I needed to DIY roller skates.

Decorating your roller skates with sequin polka dots is really simple. Depending on how many dots you do, you can definitely finish this DIY in a couple of hours or less. All you need then are knee socks, and boom - you’re a roller girl!

Materials and Tools:
  • roller skates
  • sequin ribbon, 4 yards of each color
  • hot glue gun
  • scissors

Unlace skates. Glue sequins on roller skates in a circle.







That’s it!
Life’s too short to not roller skate.

They were so whimsical and beautiful, I had to find a way to DIY my own bug infested . . . something. And since there’s nothing I love more than embellishing shoes , a pair of inexpensive velvet ankle boots was destined for a fly makeover. You’ll need: velvet ankle boots or shoes mini bug patches iron and/or hot fix tool Place a patch on the boot and press the tip of the iron over it without touching the iron to the velvet fabric. Ironing velvet will crush the pile so you really just want to use the tip of the hot iron. Another option is to use a hot fix heat tool . It has a much smaller applicator – it just might take a bit longer to melt the glue from the patch to the shoe. Continue adding patches. You can add brass bug brooches by cutting of the pin with a pair of wire cutters and gluing...
