How To : Turn your Broken WEDGE HEEL into FLATS :)

When your feet suffer from pain and tire brought by those heels and platforms

Don't you just miss a pair of nice laid back flats?

Let's get rid of that stature for once!!

From This............................................................To THIS!!!

I got this idea when this happened :(

So my black and leopard-print wedge heel broke down on me after a shopping spree :(

Well that's LIFE, it gives you LEMONS

So let's grab some tools and make Lemonade!  Umm, I mean FLATS...     from wedge heels

You're gonna need:

1. a trowel / a letter opener / something with a blunt blade

2. Strong contact adhesive glue

3. Mask and gloves as protection (optional)

1. As one of my wedge heel had almost came off all the way,  I peel the top part off with hand and a bit help from the trowel.

2. There you can see the top part is separated from the platform, and the sole of the shoe is coming off as well

3. So I peel the sole of my wedge off with hands. It came right off easily.

4. So my "flat" is now missing a sole.

5. My other wedge heel is completely fine and I need to use the blade of the trowel to help loosen it.

6. Then you want to peel it off with some STRENGTH ;)

7. I then loosen up the sole part of my other wedge too.

8. Peel off the sole part completely to obtain the sole plastic 

9. So here you have the flats,  in vamps and soles 

10. Apply the contact adhesive on both the vamp bottom and sole top, 

to have them stick firmly together, follow the instruction of the contact adhesive you choose. Here I am pressing to hold them together for a while.

You might want to wear protection as I (wish to) do

The contact adhesive I used here is super strong and smells like poison :(

 There you have it, you've successfully turned the BROKEN wedge heel into Flats!!

Of course I won't recommend doing this on an INTACT pair of wedge

BUT ... If you happened to broke a pair of wedge you really like

Or you needed a pair of nice tuned-down black flats (like me)

This is definitely worth the time.

And it's super easy Right? 

I've tested the d.i.y. flats by wearing it to another shopping spree.

And I must say it worked pretty well. So I'm PROUD. =]

Have a MAGICAL day!!
