Ever since seeing these Chanel bow-tie booties (picture as below), I have wanted to DIY a similar one. Then one day I saw these Zara mesh booties, and I knew its time had come! Last weekend I went to Michael’s, a pretty good art/handicraft supply store, wishing to get some white bows, but there was only 1 white bow left in the store while the black ones were fully stocked. Turned out the black bow-tie booties are not a bad option though, you know, since I am really happy about the result.
The process was easy, all I needed:
1. A pair of mesh booties, 2. Needle and thread, 3. four right size of bows ( that just depends on what size of bow you like)
Instead of using glue to attach the bows to the booties, I used needle and thread, just in case one day I might want to change to white/red/blue bows or get back to the original style. Using thread should make it easier to change to follow my mood or fashion trends without damage the shoes.
The first day I wore these bow-tie booties and we went out for dinner, and when I opened the restaurant’s door, there was a lady waiting for her table near the front desk and she immediately stared at my shoes and said, “Oh!!!….I like your shoes! “….You well can imagine how proud I was when I announced I did it myself! 🙂
So, do you have any new style inspiration or DIY project you can share? No matter what, I wish you have a fantastic day!

I’ve really enjoyed seeing all of your DIYs that you’ve been doing as of late– these would have to be one of my favourites, they look so classy and sewing the bows on is a great idea. Good job and I can’t wait to see what other projects you have up your sleeve! xx
好美好精緻的鞋子，細跟、網紗、蝴蝶結，帶有小女人的可愛性感。連我都好喜歡！
我最近也在DIY，是在做拍照用的花環，戴在頭上的那種。
有花朵的，還有現在正在做羽毛的，就是有點類似印地安頭飾的那種 ^^
DIY的向日葵花環在微博有po出喔！嘟嘟帶著呢：)
另外等羽毛頭飾做好了再po上。。。
