You'll need a pair of moccasins, scrap leather, scissors, shoelace (optional), needle, thread, and tweezers (optional). For the needle, you can use a leather needle or regular needle. I actually find the leather needles to be more difficult.

These first few steps are optional. The lacing around my shoe was very stiff, and I wanted to replace it with a softer shoelace. First, I needed to remove it.

3
Relace the shoe with the new shoelace.

I had a few trouble spots when trying to relace my shoes and needed to use tweezers.

5
Fit your moccasin onto your foot and tighten the new laces. Tie the ends in a knot. Repeat steps 2-5 for the other shoe.

Cut some simple feather shapes out of scrap leather. I found mine at Hobby Lobby. It's best to use sharp fabric scissors.

7
Start with one feather and stitch it onto your shoe. Move onto the next feather. Repeat this step for the other shoe.
