Winking Shoe DIYs

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

These Printed Loafers are Inspired by Chiara Ferragni's Fun Design

— February 4, 2015 — Fashion
Fans of The Blonde Salad founder Chiara Ferragni will love this inexpensive shoe DIY that recreates the blogger's famous footwear collection. Chiara is not only a famous blogger but has also collaborated with a variety of retailers along with releasing her own collection of fun flats.

Fans of the fashionista's winking footwear can recreate it for a fraction of the price with this project from lifestyle blog The House that Lars Built. The project calls for simple materials including a pair of budget-friendly loafers from H&M that cost $15 to be exact along with some acrylic paint, felt and scissors.

Once you have downloaded the blog's shoe DIY template, sketch, cut and glue your own winking eye accents until you have an affordable replica of Chiara Ferragni's best-selling accessories.
