DIYer’s Rejoice. Upcycling is the hottest trend finding its way to every home. Reusing things can be budget friendly as well as going green. Our mother’s did it for years now. Today I am going to turn my old shoes into new fringe shoes. I love the way it falls on my old shoes and nobody can make out they were old. Watch the Video Tutorial or swipe down for step by step procedure.
My old shoes. These shoes are wearing off, I still love them so I thought of making them into something different.
Materials needed:
1. old Wedge heel shoes
2. Fringe lace or Pom pom lace, any lace which is short and thick. ( I Bought it from Naif souq, shop name KMT contact: 04-2210108) A bit of a hunt but worth it in the end. Also tey Satwa road shops, they have a lot of choice. Don’t pay anything more than 5 to 10 dhs per metre.
3. Glue gun and Scissors. That’s it.
As you can see in the above images, first I cut them into the exact size of where it needs to be stuck. I am going to glue it to alternate brown strips of the shoe. I did try to do it to all the strips but alternate looks far better since even the lace is seen.
Put glue on the shoe strips and stick the laces.
The shoes are ready. If you find the right lace going with your shoe it takes only ten minutes to upcycle it. There is a lot of variety of laces available in the market, find the one which suits your shoe and your personality the best. Happy Upcycling!
