Hello all Re-fashionistas! This is my first contribution to this great community, I hope you like it. I'm into reusing and remaking and use to call my stuff for "beauty reborn" 'cause there are so much beautiful things just waiting for new users. Already Cinderella was a reuser/remaker - remember her gown...but her shoes were new (!?). So here are Cinderellas new shoes - old pumps, newspaper, lace, crocheted flower, voilá :-))

Mostly I reuse clothes and make different kinds of bags under my own label Mirkka. If you are curious you're welcome to visit my webshop at www.mirkka.com which is in english also. I also blog, but the blog is only in Swedish.


Have a nice day, we have a sunny but cold day today, -9° C.

Great idea. I was wondering what you used to attach the newspaper?
I had a look at your webshop, love the bags!

I used decoupage glue/lacquer to attach the newspaper in small pieces. You can also use it as finish and get a good surface.

Thanks Mirkka for this great re-fashion of a plain shoe. I have used your idea and changed it around a bit to create "Docey Doe's Dancing Shoes.
