Customised converse

So, I've had a pair of converse just laying at the back of my wardrobe for about a year now and thought I should make them different to the common shop bought ones. 

After trawling the internet for some inspiration, I came across an idea which I have never seen before, involving studs and superglue. Luckily I found some bargin flat studs on eBay for £3 inc. pp, so I grabbed them straight away.

It was a pretty straight forward task, which can be done in so many different ways. I started by placing the studs on the shoe in a way I liked. Once I played around, I finally thought of a pattern type thing of how I wanted them to look. 

Now the challenge came of how to stick them on, to make sure they stayed on. Firstly, I tried putting some glue on the shoe but discovered that it just seeped straight through the canvas material. So I then put super glue on the back of the studs, and then placing them on the shoe, which thankfully worked. 

Once one shoe is complete, then I moved onto the other one, which I found trickier and it didn't come out as neat for some reason. 

And, hopefully after not too longer time you have a complete pair of customised converse...

Welcome

Hello there, I'm Melissa or Mel- which ever you prefer. Welcome to my blog, What Mel Does. As the title says, this blog is all about what I do with my time on earth. I'm the type of person who likes to have plans, be out the house and busy, whether its visiting a familiar place or exploring somewhere new. I love travelling, and discovering different cultures that the globe has to offer. I am currently studying a BTEC in sport and A-level geography. They're two subjects I have a passion for, and hopefully somehow can make a career out of. I am hoping to study sport and exercise science at university in September, and I believe this is when my adult life will begin. Away from education, I like to run, hang out with my friends and family, be active, visit places both in England and abroad and try to live a happy life. I believe friends are the family that we choose and I am truly grateful for my friends.
