Everyone wants to save money. Have you ever had a piece of clothing, an item of jewelry, or a pair of shoes that you’ve had forever, but they’re starting to look old or aren’t really your style anymore? Well, have you ever thought about recycling that old item and turning it into something brand new? Reusing old items or making them into something new is a great way to save money, while having the satisfaction of getting to own something different.

Here is an example of what you could do with an old pair of shoes:

What I used:

*Silver metallic sharpie
*Thick gray ribbon
*Silver glitter
*Mod Podge
*Light blue fabric paint

Steps I used:
1: I cleaned the inside and outside of my shoes.
2: Then, I painted the shoe where all the original pink color was.
3: With the sharpie, I colored the soles of the shoes until they were no longer the tan color.
4: I painted some Mod Podge on the heel of the shoe and covered that area with the glitter.
5: Finally, with hot glue, I glued ballet straps on using the ribbon, which would wrap around my calves.
