You won’t believe how easy it is to use twill ribbon to update an old pair of shoes! Piece the design together to make a cool chevron pattern.
Take your worn out shoes from this to that!
When I bought this twill ribbon I wasn’t sure what I’d do with it, I just knew that I NEEDED it. So far I’ve used it to make headbands and belts, so why not update some old shoes?
All you need are shoes, twill ribbon, Peel N Stick Adhesive (this stuff is AWESOME!), and felt.
I cut my adhesive into strips and adhered it to the shoe. Then I smoothed on strips of the twill ribbon in alternating directions, to create a chevron pattern.
For the edges, I trimmed the ribbon as close as possible and then used the back end of my tweezers to press the edge of the ribbon into the fold of the shoe. I sealed it with fabric glue.
Once my chevron shoe was covered, I traced the shape so I could cut a piece of felt out to glue on the inside of the shoe. I did this to seal the ends of the ribbon and make it look more neat. I glued the felt into the shoe.
Fabulous new shoes for almost nothing!
Shoe crafting = brilliant!
