IRON SPINE (D.I.Y.)

{Images and materials via: Simmy}

Materials

• Black Heels (I snagged my Dolce Vida pumps on Kembrel.com for a fraction of the origInal price. Kembrel's online store is similar to Gilt Groupe, designer items marked way down).
• Black Quilters Thread
• Needle
• Scissors
• Industrial Hot Glue Gun
• All Purpose Clear Glue Stick
• Black Leather Strip (1" wide x 10" high)
• Screw Back Studs

Directions 

• Apply metal screw back studs to black leather strip.  Apply vertically with each stud being about 1/2 inch distance apart from each other.
• Use industrial glue gun (loaded with all purpose clear glue stick) to apply the studded black leather strip to the back of the black heels. (That's a tongue twister!)
• Once the strip has been applied to the heel there should be approximately 4 inches in excess material.
• Fold the extra material over so that there is a loop. You can either sew the remaining leather strip together or glue it. (Sewing it makes the piece malleable while gluing it gives the studded leather piece a structured appearance) Zee choice is yours.

Get creative. Enjoy.
