DIY kit transforms your old shoes into solar-powered LEDs

The idea of transforming old sneaks into solar-powered LED’s excited me to an extent that I ended up collected all my old pairs to bring them to good use. To learn the trick to give green make over to your shoes check out Lost Value's Solar Powered Street Light Kit. Deriving inspiration from Shoefiti, this interesting creation was originally an exhibition piece by the Scottish design firm.

Designer Elena Corchero brings to you the kit in two sizes – kid and adult. He has created magic by beautifully amalgamating worn-out shoes, solar cells and LED’s. You could places these stunning pieces of art on your door steps, garden or even hang it to your favorite tree to turn it into a unique street light.
