Taking some fabric from my stash, which used to be material covering a toiletry bag in a state of disrepair. 20c op shop purchase of course.
I used newspaper and chalk to trace around the heel shape, and cut pieces of fabric to the appropriate size.
Then using Mod Podge glue/glaze and a paintbrush, fabric pieces are stuck to heels, like so...
I used some black ribbon from my craft box to use as an outline around the fabric, again stuck down with Mod Podge. I left my boots out in the sun to dry for half a day.
They look little like Osborn shoes don't they? Perhaps that was my inspiration for chosen fabric.

How cool is that?! I love it :)
Also thanks for the badges at the end of your post - I've been looking for other refashioning blogs (I'm addicted...) so thanks for helping me find them!
Great refashion!
Cool! I have a wonderful pair of flat boots that did the same thing...got the cobbler to repair them, but I like your idea too. :)
really great idea, I am going to give this a go on my fave shoes that are a bit battered looking now

Oh my goodness, those are so cute! I love just a little accent on the heel. How fun.
