As we get more into fall, we’re all about the “back to school” style that has us rocking our preppy basics. And the best preppy shoe is the oxford, of course! We want a cute way to update our oxfords this year, so we found the best DIY oxford tutorials to inspire us. Which one would you make?

We’ve been obsessed with adorable animal flats for a while, and now we’re realizing that they would be super simple to DIY. Whether you want a cat, mouse, bunny (or any other animal!) on your flats, it could easily be created with some leather scraps, studs, and glue. We can’t wait to create our own pair!

I would like to share with you a quick way to adorn a pair of shoes with Sequin Rosebuds. This project can be used to spruce up an old pair or class up a recent purchase.
Directions:
Start by choosing which trim you would like to use, M&J has a plethera of colors to choose from. Choose which part of the shoe you would like to embellish and stitch in place. If you are applying your trim to elastic as I did, you must cut your rosebuds into separate pieces so that the elastic can still be stretched. Then stitch them close together so your separate pieces look like the original trim.
