DIY From Green Wedding Shoes

I saw this post on Green Wedding Shoes this morning and I just had to share! It is a DIY project that will result in some fun, couture shoes for your big day! I love Green Wedding Shoes because they always feature the most creative weddings and parties. Check them out and you'll see what I mean! Enjoy!

You will need some comfortable shoes to start – she found these at shoebuy.com (Nina brand). I love Nina brand and have been luck at DSW. You will also need some nylon fishing line and some silk chiffon fabric in the color and/or pattern of your choice! I recommend buying a yard so you have extra.

Next cut two pieces of fabric. 15″ x 13″ in length. Then fold the fabric in an accordion style with the 15″ length longest.

Take the fabric and tie a lose knot around the front of the shoe. This is why it’s important to use a shoe the has a narrow middle part in the front.

Next, cut four pieces of fishing line about 30″ long. Then push one side in so there is a nice small bump and wrap the fishing line around where my fingers are below. Tie in a knot on the underside so you won’t see it. Wrap the fishing line around again and knot again.

Do that again so you have two small sections on each side. And then repeat on the other side.

Once you have the first shoe done, go ahead and repeat on your second shoe. Once you have your shoes done, trim the ends so they match each other in length.

How great is that! Easy, Affordable and Fun! Just had to share! If you end up using this guide for your big day, please share!
