Happy Monday – it’s time for a new inspiration. Last week we had posted a satin like polka dot dress.

We ended up making a few items for our Etsy store – Headbands and hair clips galore – and an embellished singlet/tank top thrown in. Our Etsy store is nearly ready so watch this space 🙂

This also covers our #6 for the Pinteresting challenge – Pin It and Do It Challenge.

For Pinteresting challenge #6 – Shoe Restyle – we were inspired by this pin and the Halloween season. Here’s our end result – it’s so ugly, it’s pretty!

Googly Eyed Shoes

We ran out of googly eyes and the batch ordered on ebay have not arrived yet but we couldn’t resist showing you how it has progressed so far.

What do you think of our restyle project?

This week we have a new item for you to provide us some inspiration. A brown and white polka dot satin dress that we got at a swap meet. It’s such cute material.

This is our Pinteresting challenge #5 for the Pin It and Do It Challenge.

The pin that inspired us on Pinterest is Polka Dot Nails.

So we gave it a go…we used a BBQ skewer to make the dots…Shout out to Michelle for doing Amour’s nails!

Polka Dot – The process

And here is our finished version…

Red and White Polka Dots!

We loved it so much we did it a little more in different colour variations – which one is your favourite? We also found an easier way to do the dots via this pin – DIY Nail Art Tools.

Polka Dots of Many Colours!

We are getting just a little obsessed with the different nail art tutorials out there – Just look at Amour’s new additions to her nail polish collection!
