Make This: DIY Fabric Sandal Makeover

Have you lot seen any of those summer sandals at Target recently? I usually don't detect shoes there that I like, but as I was wondering through the aisles, I happened upon a cute pair of sandals. They were super comfy, just I didn't really like the design on the strap all that much. I bought them anyway because I knew I could come up upward with a DIY fix (and they were only $17). The consequence is today's DIY makeover project.

Turn a $17 pair of Target sandals into a custom, fabric-covered flat in almost an hr…

Supplies Needed: sandals (these are the exact pair I used) // cloth scraps // Mod Podge // paint brush // Xacto pocketknife // material scissors // clothespins

How-To:Measure the straps of the sandals that yous want to recover and cutting a piece of material slightly larger than that measurement on all sides. I added an extra ane/2 inch on each of the four sides before cutting my material, so I would have excess that could be folded underneath and/or cut off afterward being glued down.Utilize a generous amount of Mod Podge to the strap, with a paint brush, as well equally the underside of the strap (to gum the excess fabric underneath). Then attach the cut piece of textile to the strap. Push downward securely, smoothing over the surface with your paw and adding clothespins if necessary, later on tucking the excess fabric underneath the strap and calculation additional Mod Podge, if necessary. Allow the sandal strap dry and and so, using an Xacto knife, cut off the excess cloth at the base of the sole. Re-glue anything that has come loose and tuck whatever actress cloth ends in to the under side of the strap and gum down. Coat the fabric in another layer of Modernistic Podge to seal the fabric. Repeat with other sandal.

Now, who is fix for a picnic?

So, what exercise you remember? Will you be DIY-ing any sandals for summer?
