For this DIY you are going to need: Cheapie tennies, elastic, sewing implements, fabric dye, needle nose pliers, metal studs that are bigger than your lace eyelets, x-acto knife, butter knife.
STEP 1: Take your pliers and start squeezing an eyelet for the laces. Next, go to the underside and pull the smooth part of the eyelet out.

Now they are ready to wear, so go out and rock them!!! TOMS Shoe Makeover. Many, many months ago my mother-in-law bought me some Toms. I was so excited and I wore them a whole lot. I wore them enough to get a hole in the front of them. Here's what they look like now..... Here's how it went down. I peeled one side off and applied it to the shoe, lining it up with the long seam across the top of the shoe. Then I smoothed it over the front middle and then along the sides. The sheet didn't cover the entire front, to I added a few more pieces until the whole front area was covered.
Once you've got the paper everywhere you can smooth it over the shoe to get the adhesive to adhere and the just peel off the paper. Then applied the fabric the exact same way. I added a little extra adhesive inside the pleats to get them to stay flat. I smoothed the fabric over to get it really stuck on there - especially at the bottom. And BAM. And it's kind of fun to have a pair that's totally unique. Dream a Little Bigger - Dream a Little Bigger Craft Blog - Punk Inspired Stud Flats.

Go figure… So when my sister wanted some stud covered flats I had no problem complying. There wasn’t too much creativity involved in this project but I did one little thing that is going to drive some nuts but I totally dig.

In the end, they aren’t perfectly symmetrical and I know that is a thing for a lot of people when dealing with their shoes but they are perfectly awesome. For this project you only need: Take your studs and push them through the outside of your shoes. Also, make sure your shoes fit. See where I link up. You may also want to check out: Graceful Lace.

On the other hand, who really cares? Lace is awesome and on trend this fall and if you don’t have any lacy shoes, yet, you need to listen up! I feel like I have really perfected my lace covering technique.
Shoeslace fabric, approximately 1/4 yardspray adhesivescissorsMod Podge & small brushutility knife First take and cut a portion of your lace that is generously larger than the actual shoe. Turn your cut lace upside down (pretty side down, less attractive side up) and give a nice layer of spray adhesive. Starting with the toe portion of the shoe, place the lace with a good focal point on your shoe. When you get to the back of the shoe, cut the lace directly down the middle.
Take the other side and trim so that the lace is just overlapping the first piece. Shoe Makeover: Zebra Striped Classic Canvas Kicks Craft momspark.net. I’ve been informed that they look like “old lady shoes” and “hospital slippers” but I persist in loving classic canvas sneakers. It is an absolute obsession that I have. I want a million pairs in a million colors. But not just plain, solid colors… I want crazy, splatter painted, studded up or, as in this case, zebra striped.
