Shoe Redo with Mark Montano: Floral Shoe Clip

As promised, here is a peek at one of the awesome shoe redo projects we learned from Mark Montano at our Etsy Craft Night. Shoe clips are a fun way to liven up a pair of basic flats or heels. Add a shoe clip and it's like having a brand new pair of shoes! This floral clip idea by Mark is just in time for spring, and you can make it in no time flat.

Get Your Craft On

Last night a few of the BC Girls headed over to the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles for a night of holiday ornament making with design guru Mark Montano, sponsored by Etsy. Armed with pinecones, felt, construction paper and a glue gun, we transformed these humble materials into extraordinary holiday decorations. Check out what we made! And if you want to get in on the craft action yourself you should pick up a copy of Mark's new book, The Big-Ass Book of Crafts 2.
