Glam up your shoes!

Yes - you can (appear to) have trendy new shoes for pence.

Or you can make previously unsuitable shoes match your new outfit.

Or you can make one pair of shoes seem like several.

All you need is the amazing shoe clip. (Actually a pair is better.)

Step 1 Acquire your ingredients

You'll need what jewellers call findings. They are the hardware bits onto which you are going to stick your gorgeous creations.

In this case, you want shoe clip findings: I got mine on Ebay for fourpence. Or fivepence. Anyway, it was pocket money.

Go to Ebay and search shoe clip findings - you'll find them.

I usually burn the fraying edge. You can do this by holding it very close to a flame, for example a candle. Make sure that you only hold it to the side of the flame, not the top. Hold the ribbon horizontally and move it closer and closer to the flame very gradually. When you are close enough you'll notice that the ribbons edge starts shrinking a bit. Slowly move the ribbon sideways so that the whole length of the cut edge gets melted just a little bit.
