Rodarte-Style Light Up Shoes

Step 6Finish and Fit

Finish and Fit
Fold the shape around your shoe and test for a proper fit, then top-stitch the flaps together.

Finally top-stitch your ribbon to the top of the shoe patter, make sure its long enough to tie around the front of your shoe (pick a length that suits your style). Insert your battery and let your heels shine.

If you want, you can add a switch at the top or back of the shoe. EVEN better, sew the (+)  conductive thread from the LEDs up the top into one side of the ribbon. Sew the (+) from the battery to the other side of the ribbon and and make the ribbon the switch. This way they only light when the ribbon is tied, CUTE!
