This is a lovely relaxing weekend project. How to Amp Up or Pimp Stilettos to Christian Louboutin status (AKA full frontal Louboutiny): This is a pair of Dorothy Perkins heels. Cheap shoes. 25 pounds full price and I got them for 11.25 only. But they are chosen for the shape. CAVEAT: Before you amp up or pimp any shoes please stop and ask yourself if you are doing anything stupid, and “what would Christian do?” You cannot pimp any shoes unless they already have the right proportion, shape and size. You cannot pimp platform trainers, for example, or ANY ugly shoes. If you do not know what are ugly shoes, PLEASE STOP READING NOW. Ideal candidates are black stilettos with pointed fronts. The proportion must be posh otherwise you are just wasting your time and you might as well go and eat a donut. Make sure you give about 5 minutes painting time per coat of paint per pair of shoes, not including drying time. 1/ PREPARATION. If they are new shoes, you don’t need to sand. If they are old shoes, sand the bottom with fine sandpaper. Rub down with rubbing alcohol to remove the dust from the sanding. 2/ PAINT with the red walk-on shoe paint. After one coat is fully dry, do a second coat. 3/ VARNISH. I got this from Screwfix. I think it’s 5 pounds for the tin. Just one coat of varnish will do. 4/ TOUCH-UP. Use a black sharpie and touch up where you have messed up or gone over the line. 5/ SHOW OFF. Wear them with pride! Always lift feet and display the soles whenever you can. And wa-lah! Christian Louboutin, eat your heart out! #diy #fixingshit #frugalliving #upcycling #repurposing #vintage #customization #shoes #christianlouboutin #weekendproject

‪My god I fixed this shower. After successful trip to #screwfix, and purchase of correct ball and socket joint part plus sprocket nonsense, I changed the fitting. Myself. Needless to say I kept the receipt. #eurekamoment #thisgirlcan unfortunately I’m now drenched again because I forgot to switch off valve before attempting to do #diy #fixingshit #plumbing #TuesdayMotivation ‬ #arewewinning
