but they were WAY too expensive to purchase and I thought I could make something similar myself. So that's what I did in 40 minutes tonight. Now if only the weather would warm up enough so I can wear them instead of sneakers every single day.
So I started with my plain jane sandals, some extra fabric I've had since college and 1 inch wide elastic.
I then measured out how much elastic I would need and cut my fabric to make the ruffles. I just eyeballed the elastic and fabric. I wing a lot of the projects I do.
After cutting it all, I had to gather the fabric a bit before attaching it to the elastic with a zigzag stitch. Using a basic gathering stitch, I was able to bring the fabric to the point where I could attach the elastic. Easy peasy.
The final step was attaching the ruffles to the sandals. I sewed on a little extra fabric so I could run the ankle strap through and tie my sandals. After sewing and setting the strap in, I hot glued the other end to the toe strap. So unbelievably easy.
Why did I wait until I was 27 to own a glue gun?
Finished!!!!
Ignore my unpolished toes...it's difficult to care very much about the condition of my feet when I can't go barefoot.
