Art Shoes #3: Shoe Crafts: Reuse your Old Shoes.
Shoeflyer is predicting that 2009 will be the year of Shoe Individualization. No more will consumers be forced to match their style to mass-produced shoes. You can now paint your shoes, cover them in stickers, or even design them online. Of course, we hope that some of our carefully selected pairs will tempt you, but we’re tickled pink that the DIY sustainability revolution has spread into footwear. To take DIY principles to the next step, find ways to reuse and repurpose your shoes. Instead of throwing them out to languish in a landfill, find a way to extend their life by using them in crafts. Or just use shoes as an inspiration to create new art.
