Hi everyone
My name is Thaline and I live in Belgium.For those who don’t know, it is a very small country in Europe where the weather isn’t always that awesome. But it is almost June, the summer is comming up and I wanted some new sandals.
I’m always looking for a pair of funky, flashy and ‘different from all the other’-shoes. But everytime I went shopping, the shoe-collection dissapointed me or the sandals I liked costed like 250 euros (278 dollar) which is way to expensive for a student like me.
So I thought I’d make my own sandals, because #WhyNot?
I went to a local craft/fabric/accessories-store to have a look around.
I found a pair of gladiator sandals in gold. I wear the Double Horn Wrap Around Choker all the time, so the golden horns match the golden sandals perfectly.
Then I searched for some accessories to put on these sandals to make them as funky and flashy as I wanted. I found some pom-poms, pom-pom-thread, tassels and some golden charms I liked.
I also bought extra-strong thread and some golden crew-on ‘springs’ where you can attach things to.
Then I started to measure the pom-pom thread, so they fit onto the sides of the sandals, and sew these pieces on.
I screwed the spring-things onto the laces to attach some tassels.
I sewed the charms onto the sides as well, and clipped the pom-poms (who had golden rings you can open and close) onto the laces on top of the sandal.
And voila, my summer sandals are as ready as they can be. I can’t wait to wear them with my Mr Kate jewelry and BeautyMarks!
Thanks for reading!
