Change the design of your shoe with one move

MATERIALS YOU NEED TO DIY YOUR OWN METALLIC TINSEL FRINGE+FLORAL+POM POM POM EMBELLISHED 3 IN 1 DESIGN SLIDER SHOE:

  • slider

  • metallic fringe tinsel curtains in the colors you design OR

  • pom poms in many colors and in sizes in between 0.5cm to 2,5 cm OR

  • fake flower heads

  • pieces of felt material in a similar color to your slider shoe

  • glue

  • velcro tape

  • scissors

  • sewing machine

  • thread and needle


HOW TO MAKE A METALLIC TINSEL FRINGE+FLORAL+POM POM POM EMBELLISHED 3 IN 1 DESIGN SLIDER SHOE:


  1. Grab your fabric and make the measurement to your own shoes, the fabric should be following the curve of the top and should be reaching down to the side but not too long otherwise it would stick out. On the pics I show some ways you can measure your sliders. You can either place the fabric on top and make marks then cut out, or simply just grab your measure tape and make notes of the top wider end and lower end also across and cut.

  2. Once you have your fabric pieces fire up your sewing machines and start sewing up the tinsel chunks, you can make it extra colorful and mixing them or just stick to one color. I have decided to stick to 3 colors. With pastel lilac base golden yellow, violet purple and silver go well!! So I started off with one color and I did about 2 inches then I changed for another 2-3 inches then I changed..

    For the Floral design first cut of the little stems standing out from the flowers and use your hot glue to attach the heads to the fabric base you measured.

  3. Once you have completed the design of your shoe all you need is a super glue one side of the velcro tape to the top of your slider. Wait till it dries. the other side needs glueing to the designs. Optionally you can fix the tape with a few safety stitches with a thread and needle to each sliders “top”.
