DIY Fringe Shoes

7/27/2018

I purchased these shoes some years ago from Top Shop . After having them for a year (only wearing them once) I decided that I liked them but they were missing something. Instead of getting rid of them I held on to them in storage. Fast forward to last week I figured out what I wanted to do with them. So I decided to go step by step and share the details of how I created this look for anyone interested in updating a shoe in their closet. I really enjoyed updating these shoes and look forward to sharing more DIY projects to update your closet and home!

View pictures below for quick step directions

Things you'll need:
1. Shoes
2. 4 inch Fringe Trim (2-3 yards)
3. Glue & Glue Gun
4. Chalk or some other marking tool
5. Scissors
6. Decorative Trim (1/3-1/2 inch thickness and 1 yard in length)

mark the back of shoe to create a guide for fringe trim. I created 3 layers (but depending on the thickness of your heel you may need more or less layers)
measure each guideline on both shoes and this will be the exact amount of fringe trim you'll need. (I suggest purchasing an extra yard for back up)
add fringe trim using glue gun, following the guidelines...... starting from the inside and working your way out.
cut/trim off fringe that extends heel length. fringe should hit the base of shoe.
to give it a clean look apply a finishing trim of your choice on top of the top layer of fringe using the glue gun. this will give your shoes a finished look and help to hide any glue residue from the glue.

Note: Please add enough glue for your trim to stick but be careful not to overdue it.
