is a new week and a new day, the season 11 week2 engagement challenge is and this time around it comes in another form which we are to use our old garment to do something meaningful.

When I saw the contest, I remember one of my best shoe that was condemn when I had accident last year and I refuse to trash the shoe because I only wore it twice and I bought the shoe then at 15000 naira, so all this while I have been thinking of exact thing to do to the shoe.

Then for the fabric I use in rebranding the shoe is one of my old dress which is not sizing me again and is not my daughter size as well, the only thing is the last time I visited the ophanage I forgot to include the dress, so with the contest I have make use of the dress without trashing it.

Before how the shoe looks like

The shoe was totally condemn but the soul of the shoe was still good and it was just there in my shoes rack, I decided to make it useful to me and I am happy I was able to rebrand it. From the picture you will see that the shoe was not useful again. But let me show you the steps I use in rebranding the shoe with the use of my condemn fabric.

The first thing I did was for me to scarter the shoe totally and I start everything from the beginning, even my kids were wondering how I am going to do it but let's see how I did it.
Though I am not a shoe mender but from now I think I will become one.

wrapping process

The second steps was for me to use the fabric to wrap the shoe with the help of iron gum, I did all the wrapping and keep it aside.

At this point the shoe was 80% ready to be used and I make sure that everything was in place then I use the iron gum and glue the shoe pad to to shoe soul and I use my leg to measure it so that it will not be too tight or too lose on me

At this time the shoe was ready and you can see it seated very well on my legs and there was this old slippers of mine that has bead on it and when I checked I see that the bead can be useful to me then I remove the bead from the old slippers.

This is how the bead looks like then I use iron gum to glue it to my already made shoe and it added so much beauty to my new branded shoe. If you check the picture you will see how the bead added so much beauty to it.
