Step 1
Figure out where you want to put your gator.
Personally I think the best places are the sides because the toes are really hard to get to from the inside. -
Step 2
Pencil in your gator outline.
I did mine freehand. But there are a lot of great images you can find on google to help you if you need it. -
Step 3
Thread your need with your thread and begin on the inside of the shoe.
Continue on to finish your entire gator.
Use black thread for the little eye dot.Tip: Use a thimble to help push the needle through otherwise sometimes it is a little tough.

Step 4
Add your extras:
1. Shoelaces
-You can put beads on them for more color if you want
2. Tie little Orange bows and hand sew onto the shoe from the inside.
3. I painted U F on the toes because I could not get my needle all the way down in the toes.
I used acrylic paint in Orange and Puff paint in Blue to outline. Super easy and can be stenciled on.

I do adore keds though. They've always been my favorite!
