Tomorrow is National Lipstick Day and I can only assume that your footwear is completely unprepared for such an important holiday. Shame on you. Shame on your shoes. Get it together.
Don’t worry. I’ve got you because at the end of the day, I’m looking out for you and your fancy feet. Today I’ve got another installment of Craft My Flats. So far we have made ice cream flats and koosh ball flats and the cuteness continues. With lips. Red lips. Is there any other kind?
And while we are on the topic of lipstick, here is a little known fact: If you put on some sunglasses and red lipstick, you automatically look so put together. No need for any other make up. No concealer. No mascara. Just sunnies and lippies. Underneath those sunnies, you’re all Walking Dead but to the world you’re all Lady Gaga. So let me give you a lesson on how you can get your shoes to be all Lady Gaga, too.
What you need:
- Tooling leather cut into lip shapes. I used the Cricut Explore to cut these shapes, but you can also use scissors to cut these out.
- Glitter Bond Glue (this stuff is the best for getting glitter to adhere to all surface like fabric, leather and paper. The glitter will stick and it won’t move! I love it so bad!)
- Red Glitter
- Red Acrylic Paint
- Foam Brush
- Shoe clips
What you do:
- Paint the lips with red paint
- Once the red paint is dry, brush the painted lips with glitter glue, then cover with red glitter and shake off any excess
- Use a strong craft glue to adhere the shoe clips to the back of the lips (the glitter glue will actually work just fine for this).
So so cute! Clearly I need to go out today and stock up on a bunch of new lipstick shades so I’m ready for tomorrow, right? 😉
Obviously. You need all the lipsticks!
Where do u get the lip Stencils?
National lipstick day. Love it! These are so perfect. I ain’t wearing any nice shoes with these preggers swollen feet, but I’ll sure sport my lipstick around in honour of the day!
GIRL! I know the struggle! Toward the end I had ONE pair of shoes that KIND OF fit. My feet basically looked like sausages and my ankles looked like tree trunks. Sexy.
LOVE it! Oh and you’ve officially just made sunnies-and-lippies a thing. Just sayin’
Your idea is beyond fabulous. I love it! Now I need to buy me a pair of black flats to try this out. xo Natasha
Perfect for Lipstick Day – love love!
So I was on Pinterest and I saw your picture and I was like I know that crafty lady and I read your cute interview over on Delineate Your Dwelling. Just want to stop by and say I am loving your craft my flats post and I love your minimal neat and simple look with bold and loud colors. What can I say I love pink too!!!!
Such Cuteness! Where are you getting these cute shoes to glam all up from? I need these in my life…lol
Great! Michael
