How to Make Cute DIY Shoe Clips Easily Using Beaded Trim
Hey guys, you know I'm big on DIY shoe clips so I decided to create this tutorial to show you how to jazz up your shoes with this very easy shoe clip.
I went to the fabric store and picked up this nice trim. That's all you need ready - some trim, glue, elastic, and some shoe clips. Let me show you how to make this.
Tools and materials:
- Embellished trim
- Elastic
- Shoe clips
- Glue
1. Determine placement
First off, wear your shoes and determine where you’d like to place your trim. I placed mine in the center and I liked how it looked. I tried a double trim but I felt it was too much.
So, see how you’d like your DIY shoe clips to be placed and go with what you like best!
2. Cut the trim
When you’re happy with the placement, measure it against your leg, and cut the trim accordingly.
3. Make it sturdy
The trim was not very sturdy, so I decided to glue some extra ribbon onto the trim. You can skip this step if you feel it’s not relevant for you.
4. Glue elastic
Now, cut a small piece of elastic, fold it in half, and glue the ends to create a loop.
The reason why elastic is important is that it allows for mobility while you walk. So, the elastic will stretch as you walk without it falling off.
5. Glue the DIY shoe clip
Once the elastic is glued on and dried, go ahead and glue the shoe clip. Make sure the shoe clip is facing the right side. Try it on the shoe first before you glue it on.
Tip: If you do not have an industrial type of glue, use a needle and thread.
Now, press it down with a pair of tweezers until it dries.
Next, repeat the same steps on the other side.
