I got these shoes for a wedding I was in and they didn't like to stay on my heel - they were constantly slapping as I walked. Not a good thing when you're walking down the isle!

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Shoes
  • Ribbon
  • Needle
  • Thread

Steps (4 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    My shoes matched my dress almost exactly, so I used the optional straps that came with it for one strap and made another out of what got hemmed off the bottom of my dress. I did this for another pair of shoes and used some sheer ribbon I found so just as long as you have 2 straps per shoe you're good. They just need to be long enough to strap around your ankle and tie a nice bow.

  2. 2

    Take your strap and find a place to attach it. I didn't sew the strap directly to my shoe, but rather to itself when I folded the end around a strap on the shoe. CONFUSING! Just whip it in place. Repeat on other side and again the exact same way on the other shoe.

  3. 3

    Once ya have 'em in place tie them on your foot and try them out.

    Yay! Shoes that stay on!
