I always love
sneakers. They’re comfortable, and went good with almost everything. But still,
as a secret agent of Pembela Pengiritan Garis Miring, I will never buy a pair
of new sneakers unless my old sneakers are already broke and no longer
wearable, or, I got a chance to buy them in the cheapest price.
Last week, when me and
Ibing wandering around the city. We found a store that sell foot wear in a big,
big, big, SALE! We stop by to take a look and found this lovely couple for only
IDR 50k. So yeah, it’s 25k only for each pair.
Of course, I know in
an instant that I can’t wear the shoes just the way they are. They’re look too
old, too outdated, and not cool at all. So I started to think any ideas to do
with this pair of shoes and I found a bunch of ideas including painting and dye
them up. I still can’t decide, until on the beach, when I was playing with sand
and seashells. I put shells on the shoe and I found them pretty good. I also
found the shell have the same color theme with the shoe. They’re white with a
bit brown right? That’s why I decided to collect more shells and bring them
home.
If you wanna make your
own shell sneakers, you will need:
1.
Sneakers
2.
Shells
3.
Hot glue
4.
Glue gun
(if you have)
Me, I don’t have a
glue gun so I just heat the glue up with some help of lighter and candle. And
it works pretty well. I use the hot glue because Ibing told me it will work
best with shell and the fabric of the shoe, but, if you have a better idea
about the right type of the glue, go ahead and please tell me.
Put the shell one by
one on the shoe. Make sure it stick strong enough you’ll not worry to wear it
for a run. And also, you have to pay attention to the shape and size of the
shell. Decorate your shoes as you wish.
It doesn’t take a long
time. Maybe just an hour or two (I don’t count my time), and after I finish,
here they are. My sneakers are already brand new and not so boring anymore.
I love sneakers, and I
love this one so much. If you make your own, please let me know by leaving link

Thank you so much for
reading! See you in the next project!
