My Old Worn Out Sandals

So i had these sandals that i bought last year. And of course like most things I've bought i was in looovee!

 Sooo i wanted something new and removed the gold metal peices 
and the huge stone 

and cut three pieces of ribbon two long and one slightly smaller i didnt measure i just went with my gut

then i  met the two ends at the middle and hot glued them in place

on the side where they met i put a dab of hot glue on each end and folded a tiny bit in

then turned it over to the side that would be displayed and applied a dab of hot glue to the center and folded it in

I repeated this step for the other two pieces of ribbon and on the other shoe of course but with the two larger bows i hot glued them side by side like so

I then glued the smaller one to the center and wrapped a small white ribbon around the middle. I also placed black rhinestones to the larger bows and silver ones to the smaller bows.(if youre confused check out the last picture for reference!) To place them on the shoe  was where i had trouble the metal pieces left a large triangle in the center and the bow didnt belong there so  cut the triangle into a strip

Painted it white! with acrylic paint

Then added some thin lace which i adhered with my handy dandy glue gun!

And lastly ladies and i  guess there could be gentleman the bows!!
And i proudly wore them to church the next day!!


XoXo for now!
