Beauty DIYs are one thing — fashion is a whole other beast. Whipping up an at-home avocado mask isn’t too tricky, but recreating a high fashion look with household items? Yeah that takes TALENT.

Style and beauty vlogger Shay Cherise has THE GIFT.

With only a pair of socks, scissors, and non-slip heel pads, she was able to recreate the Yeezy knit bootie look with a pair of pumps she had in her closet.

✨ DIY YEEZY SOCK HEELS ✨ Inspired by @collette_emily Materials Socks Pumps Hot glue gun Sandpaper sheets Scissors hope you enjoy this easy DIY. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

It’s pretty simple.

First, grab a pair of nude socks.

She recommends men’s socks, they’re longer and allow for a bit more slouching.

Slide the socks over your pump, then make a small cut to feed the heel through.

Now just slap on the heel pads for a little traction and you’re all done.

I can’t believe how much negativity people have toward the sock heels. Why hate on someone who is brave enough to stand out. Fashion is about expression. I’m so proud of all my slayers that recreated my DIY. You killed it. love you guys.

It’s actually not the first time one of Shay’s DIYs caught on. After she crafted these denim over-the-knee boots, people were quick to put their spin on it.

Here’s her version…

While you’ve got your hot glue gun warmed up and ready to go, check out Collete Emily, who actually inspired Shay to create the sock pumps. She has an amazing tutorial on how to distress a t-shirt and a more intricate approach to the Yeezy-inspired bootie on her YouTube channel.
