DIY: Leopard Converse sneakers

IMG_1810-s
You will need:
1. Pen & paper to draw the pattern.
2. Tape to prevent the faux fur to come off.
3. Faux fur.
4. Scissors.
5. A pair of Converse. (I use an old pair of Converse that I have since high school and I rarely wear them.)
6. Needle & thread.
7. A seam ripper.
8. Doubleside Tape.
DIY: Leopard Converse
So..
Here is what you need to do:
1. Copy the pattern from the sneakers onto the paper.
2. Place the pattern onto the faux fur, put the tape around it before you cut it out. (So on the wrong side of the faux fur you should have tape on it before you cut it!)
3. Doubleside tape around the pattern and place onto the sneaker.
4. Hand sew along the edges.
5. Follow the eyelets to prick holes with the seam ripper for the shoelace.
6. Done!!! :)

I think it'll look rad to pair them with tight leather pants or leggings! Pair with knee high socks feel so young. ;)
I am thinking to also do something to the shoelace, but not exactly sure what to do yet.......... ;P I'll keep you guys in the loop if I decide what!

What do you guys think about this DIY??? ;D




Oh...
I have a confession to make...
I got a comment couple days go saying that I don't return the courtesy nor visit and leave a comment just as courtesy to show my gratitude. That's why the support for my blog has been dwindling. And I should do what I want others done to me.

I have to agree and apologize to you guys!!! I know and I agree with what she/he said. I've heard this from my boy many times that I should & NEED to return the courtesy and visit back as my gratitude!!! I knew I have to do that to show you guys I care, but I don't know why I did NOT do it in return.?!?!?! What am I thinking?!?!?! I'd like to thank her/he for point this out and shows me that you guys care and expect sth from me. I'll start to do my best to return the courtesy. I really appreciate this! Thank you so much for this!!! Xoxo
Sorry guys!!! I'll do my best to improve!!!
Love,
Becca

Over 100 years old preserved fruit store, it's really famous and one of the place you have to go if you visit Tainan. I love preserved fruit very much, I want to buy em' all. It took me a while to pick out what to buy and what to give up in there!!!

This is totally do-able/DIY-able (I think!). I think you could just get a Vans sneakers & sew the scarf onto it?!?! Am I too surreal??? It's do-able, isn't it??? Or it's impossible??? ;P
You can get this rad sneakers HERE!

I had my sister and bau went to the Lanvin for H&M to get some stuff for me since I am not there. Unfortunately, they can't and don't want to wait in the cold for 3+ hours, so they gave up!! If I was there, I wouldn't have waited myself anyway... It's ashamed....... :(

Everything turns gray---

Depressing... When is everything going to be fine again??? Week after weeks, one sayting after another, when would it comes true? I don't mind to take a break, a long break, but this ain't f*ing break. This is torture for giving me hope and letting me down at the point when I think I am almost there.. I hope this is one last time that I get some kind of statement and this is it. No more waiting and bullshit/excuses. I was laughing here, in fact I wasn't. God bless me please!!!
I miss New York, my cat and my family & friends! Just get me back there!!!!!!!

***It was so funny that I had "my tail" with me in Korea and everyone, seriously everyone was touching it and playing with it while I was out and about. Some people even pulled my tail while I was shopping and walking! :))) So funny that people to see people had reaction like that and actually pay attention !!!
