I brought these polka dot clips for only a pound each from Poundland, cut the hairband off and had fun clipping them to make lots of my old shoes look glam!! Great thing is one set can make lots of shoes look different. They come with 3 ways to use ~ hairband for hair, pin for clipping to bags and this little clip for clipping to shoes....
Tips... Clip to straps, laces or anywhere overlapping like buckles... Don't clip just to sides of shoes or they will rub you foot when walking... Don't clip to front of shoes or the will hurt where you foot bends when walking... Have fun mixing different colour shoes and patterns... They mix dots and strips? dots and flowers would be cool too!!
Makes 12
Ingredients
100g White cooking chocolate
100g Milk cooking chocolate
4 x 58g Mars bars
100g Margarine
1 tbsp Golden syrup
150g Cornflakes
150g Dark cooking chocolate
You will need
2 x 6 holes silicon flower or any shaped mould oven trays
Method
Melt the white cooking chocolate in a bowl either in a microwave or in a heat prof bowl over simmering pre boiled water.
In another bowl melt the milk chocolate the same way.
Place the melted chocolate evenly between the 12 holes silicon tray, mixing the white chocolate and milk chocolate slightly together.
Leave to cool whilst preparing the Mars bar mix.
Slice the 4 Mars bars into chunks, place with the margarine and golden syrup in a heatproof bowl.
Melt over a pan of simmering pre boiled water.
Stir the mixture, first as it melts it becomes thin, keep stirring it as it will start to become thicker.
When everything is melted and mixed in together, remove from the bowl from the pan and mix in the corn flakes straight away.
Crush the cornflakes down slightly with a potato masher.
Leave to cool slightly so not to melt the chocolate in the moulds.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the 12 holes in the trays on top of the chocolate and with the back of a spoon gentle press down.
Melt the dark chocolate and cover the 12 treats.
Leave to cool.
Once cooled place in a fridge for a few hours to set until ready to turn out.
When taking them out, turn upside down onto a place a loosen all sides
slowly lift from the middle, if starting to break they may need to cool more
One turned out the bottoms become the tops.

I had something delivered through the post but thought the box was just to good to throw away.So I cut up a old book into random triangles,rectangles and squares.I used wallpaper paste to glue them on so it wouldn't dry all gooey like flour and water....
Waited a few days until completely dry and printed a photo of me and my 2 youngest children off the computer in sepia.
Then I dyed some lace using a tea bag rinsed and left to dry...
Then I got creative with lace,beads buttons and my picture.I also decorated inside.I am very pleased with my first proper ( that's not just kids ideas ) craft project and cant wait for it to dry properly so I can put some things inside....

I went to find my sunglasses a few weeks back, getting all ready for Spring (as you do) and my favourite ones were broken :( So I decided to think of a way to find them easier, not get any broken again and something with a vintage twist!!
Here came the idea for a sunglasses display that is now on my bedroom wall....
All you need is a plastic coat hanger, some glue or sellotape and some vintage lace....
