But last week, while Peter was out of town I pulled them out and decided to give it a try. Amazingly, it turned out really well. Here’s the boring before:

And here’s the amazing after:

If you want to do try it yourself, here’s what I did. I started with basic Isotoner slippers. I bought mine on sale from Kohls. I cut the seams to remove the the little bows from each slipper. Using a white cotton, peach cotton, and gold tulle I created three flowers for each slipper. I was a bit concerned about this step because I didn’t know how to make fabric flowers. I learned that several wavy circles stacked on top of each other works out pretty well.

Then fold each flower in half and sew a small little “x” into it. This keeps the flower together, without taking away its movement.

Finally, add three champagne pearls and sew the flowers on to the slippers.

Now prance around your house and relish in the femininity of your new slippers!!

Have you guys found any tutorials that you just had to try? How’d they go?
