Making my Own PLATFORM SHOES: Making a Blue Velvet Outfit with Platforms (because I want to be tall)

- This is Part 2 of my Blue Velvet Thrift Flip Outfit. I wanted a pair of Demonias but they're very expensive so I decided to make a pair of my own platform boots!
MATERIALS:
Thrifted boots to Flip
Foam
E6000 / Shoe Goo / Contact Cement
(E6000 - amzn.to/3joQ8jg this has a pointed tip - amzn.to/38kXs9m)
(Shoe Goo - amzn.to/3yop8Ve)
(Contact Cement - amzn.to/2Y8mbMp)
Heat gun / Hair Drier - amzn.to/3Doedi2
Scissors
Band Saw
Mask - for toxic fumes and particles
Safety goggles
Pliers
Hammer
Clamps and two Flat metal sheets
SEWING MUST HAVES:
Sewing Pins, Measuring Tape, Seam Ripper - amzn.to/3uzIjuL
I recommend a good pair of FABRIC SCISSORS so you never have any trouble cutting your cloth- amzn.to/3swvhwd
Sewing Machine (The one I use is a really old Brother model and sometimes a newer Singer model, but the kind isn't a huge deal as long as it has assorted foots and a strait and zig-zag stitch)

For the price of all that E6000 you could have got the contact cement shoemakers use.
That was a lot of hard work...but worth it. The platform shoes turned out so beautiful👌👌👌
Great job I was mesmerised by the process. Hard work but turned out great!
I do this too!! I'm a lady's USA size 4 , since most women's begin at a 6 or 6.5 that makes finding feminine adult shoes nearly impossible. Happy to see this is becoming more common. Also, I have used YOGA BLOCKS! From free box or from thrift stores to make my platform soles :) I have made mini platforms for my toddler. As well :D
You might want to add a rubber bottom so that you don't wear away the bottoms of those amazing shoes!
Also another tip: acetone works well as well as using one of those long butter spreader knife things to separate the heel from the sole without damage from heat gun or prolonged irritation. I have used black silicone to clean up the edges on some of my homemade platforms.
Hello Sierra, what an amazing and creative idea! Never seen anyone that tried to make his or her own platform shoes! Wow, really terrific result, you can be very proud! Thanks so much for the inspiration and have a wonderful week, all the best, Erika
What a unique approach!! They look beautiful 🌈 👠
Bright white, and creamy lace mermaid cut skirt (high cut in front long in back ) would look cute too. With long cloves White on top cream on bottoms of gloves
Nice work! Heels are removed by placing the shoe in a vice (protect the grip surface) and using a pry bar. You should be able to find a small one in any hardware store, or possibly a novelty store. These also turned out well. It's clear that craftsmanship is important to you, it's not just about aesthetics.
To avoid the quarter inch edge on the platform, I would recommend shaving them down more before gluing them to the shoe; you can use the original sole as a pattern once you have the curve for the heel carved into them! Otherwise it would just be some trial and error to get them to the right shape and then you're good to glue. You could also place a piece of paper on the sole and trace the outline of where the sole should go onto that.
that best n cutest make over ever. those boots are to die for WOW!
Very creative!!😁
The heels make
this outfit pop!!!
I can’t get over the finished look😍 Amazing outfit and shoes!
Thank you! I wear them every day at school and during summer when I go out of town I wear literally everyday I just love them I painted them with my permanent black and red paint and I used a grey shoes you have in your video
Id love to see how they turned out!
too cute... lovec the playmat recycle for the soles.... great job.........
Your super happy reaction at the end was the most fun! 🎉🎉🎉, they came out great 🙌
Good for you honey, way to go with your will to make what you wanted and your motivation and great attitude needed to get it done. I am so impressed with this. This is how new styles are created and how someone could learn so much about something they never knew, who knows how this may come in quite handy latter on in your life. Good luck and a great life to go with your amazing attitude! 👍🏼❤
Those are so pretty 😭
I’m going to make these, yep definitely
have you made them??
They look so comfy, I will give them ago, Thanks for Sharing great outfit too with the shoes xx
I woke up early in the morning to this video on my feed. Now I have to subscribe ❤
These are so stunning its unbelievable
As someone with GIANT FEET, I'm so trying this!
yes! the shoes completed the outfit 😍💙
Wow you did an AMAZING JOB!!! 🔥
wow!! Really you have made shoes for yourself, unbelievable!! you are just amazing!! brilliant!!
Pperfect for pride month and anytime rainbows are required.
Wow! I'm so impressed. I need to increase the height of my left shoe cuz of a short leg. You are so inspirational. Was the foam slippery on the bottom? Years ago I glued smooth craft foam to the sole of a left shoe. When I was out, it rained and the shoe became so slippery, especially when I stepped on a painted parking lot stripe. I was afraid I'd fall.
I love it!!!!!! Wish I could have those color, for a summer shoe, size 11🔥🔥🔥❤️❤️
I'll just keep going to the stores 🛒 and on-line. No thank Sierra.. I'm good 👍
I would’ve sunk shoe into the foam. Maybe use the heat gun the make the indentation that way you can’t see the ooopsies
Very cool 😎 chica; not only very creative but what a way to recycle ♻️ 🌍 old clothing 👍
Oh my goodness! They look awesome!😍
They move like a slinky 😭 that’s so cool
thanks!
Great Shoes Love them Sierra, xx
Ahhh, perfect upcycling project!
Those shoes are SUPER COOL!!
Love your shoes are beautiful 🎉😊
Very Cute!
Really cute ❤
Well done
Amazing !
Wow Lady LOVE IT…
You did that. Excellent work
Hey! I love these so much and want to make some but I want them to last a while. How have these done durability-wise?
I've worn them out a few times and they've held together better then I thought they would. It depends how much you plan to wear them.
Amazing video! However, that mask may help with dust particles, which is also super important, but for toxic fumes it is not enough😅
Pretty cool
I love em, thank you for sharing ❤
This is awesome, Sierra!
Rad! Will try this!
These are groovy ~ shared 👍🏽
Thanks!
Love.
Great channel my friend☺️👍🤗
Ohhhh super cool! How'd they hold up overtime???
I’ve only worn them a few times but they’ve stayed together so far!
I wear mine every day for the past few years and lasted longer so far than a large amount of my store bought platforms which quickly separate from the sole
if you do this again get a thicker foam
Too cute❤
Woww nice..👍
Thanks for sharing..🙏
Any thoughts on alternative material for the foam? I'm bigger and like terrified that the foam will either collapse or make me roll my ankle during the event I want to make shoes like this for
they do make firmer foam then the type i’m using here. Otherwise I would look for some rubberized material.
sorry, but, if it were me I would have left the shoe as is and instead made the rainbow foam heel and then cut a shape the shape of the heels from top to bottom to fit the original heel of the shoe into the rainbow foam heel part with glue all in side the hole in there and on the bottom of the shoe al;so I would have bought a black bottom shoe piece so the heel could last longer because I see 2 issues with this #1 the shoe may be bouncy and foam like now but just wait till you walk outside for a bit soon its gonna be deflated loppsided wobbly and uncomfortable but if the heel had been left on the shoe and just put into the foam heel then your foot and the heel of your foot would be adding all the weight onto the heel that was already there instead just on the foam alone allowing the foam heel to last way way longer and putting the original heel into the foam heel not only gives support to the foam heel to last longer and to your whole foot but also in doing it that way it would also hide the original heel inside the rainbow foam block you know? and #2 without that black bottom rubber piece the bottom foam is surly gonna were out sooner rather than later and all that gravel grinding the shoe down I mean water alone does this to rocks over time and where literally walking on gravel and wet gravel at that so the bottom shoe being just foam alone and just flimsy foam at that is now skidding across the roads and streets and sidewalks which means everywhere you walk is just gonna mangle the bottom of that foam by the end of the day that's why we have those black hard rubber bottoms... but yeah those are the biggest issues I see and hey I see how creative you are and it's great that you gave it a shot I'm not knocking your efforts I just am pointing out the possible flaws here sooo sorry but it is what it is either way great look I love love love the rainbow idea for the heel its absolutely a cool look and I would love to own a pair of shoes like that so great job on the styling part!
God you’re so clever 😭
troppo simpatica!😄🤩💪
Why didn`t you sand the sides? The shoes wouldn`t look so cheap if you had finished them the right way.
I tried sanding on a test piece and it blended all the colors together looking muddy. I wanted those sharp bright lines so I left it how it was. If I used a solid color for it, sanding it would be a great idea.
Maybe, like how they paint the famous cherry red vehicle (using 10 layers of gloss and sanding it between to have a depth to the color) $8k A job. You could put layers of some kinda medium like super glue mixed with baking soda (like a acrylic for artificial fingernails but cheaper) sand down with mask, then some kinda gloss that's ok for human innteraction. The news says micro plastic now get into people's valves and cause heart attacks. Microplastics! We knew we shouldn't have been microwaving stuff in plastic wraps! I been putting stuff in the microwave with the wrapper, the hard plastic it comes in, the box. Without ever opening it it. Lol! Hope that was interesting to someone (what I wrote).
Oh snap! Those look soo freaking cute! I can't even tell they need sanded down woweee
Great!!!!! 😻
nice!
Woow love yuo ❤❤❤
Waw so gorgeous shoe 😍
