Instructions

  1. use different colours embroidery thread to create 2 friendship bracelets (you can choose colours that fit by your clothes) there is a great tutorial for friendship bracelets on honestlywtf. http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-friendship-bracelet/

  2. make sure that the frienship bracelets are long enough to fit around your shoes, and leave enough thread at both sides of the bracelets so that you can make a braid at both ends, that you can tight up together!

  3. knot the bracelets around your shoes most of the times the bracelet will be kept in place because of pleads in the leather, but you can also sew the bracelets to your boots I choosed not to, because I wanted to use the bracelets on different boots and have a variety in colours
