Introduction: Folk Chic Shoe-Shoes
These relaxed booties will see you through festival field and highstreet tarmac.
Step 1: Materials
You're going to need:
wooden buttons,
vintage fabric ribbon of three sizes,
hessian,
shoes to decorate,
strong fabric glue, I'm trying out a new brand since it's become difficult to get my usual.
Step 2: Tools
You'll also need:
Scissors,
Needle you don't mind getting glue on,
thread,
mini clamps or bulldog clips.
Step 3: Cut Your Ribbon to Size
There is no exact art to this. I used squares of one ribbon and a long thin strip of another. I then frayed the edge of the larger ribbon and loosely stitched one side of the thinner ribbon to bunch it into a semi circle.
Step 4: Create Half Bows
I applied glue to one side of each square and then bunched it together to form fan like shapes. I used the clamps to hold them until almost dry.
Step 5: Cut and Glue Your Hessian
Stuff your shoe with whatever you have to hand to simulate a foot. Then lay your hessian over the shoe and roughly cut the shape you need out.
Glue the hessian on and neaten up the edges as you want.
Step 6:
Assemble your shape on the shoe. I added a third strip of ribbon to disguise an edge.
Step 7:
Pop the button in the middle of the shape.
Step 8: Done!
Enjoy your shoes
