You Will Need (6 things)

  • Shoelace (optional)
  • Needle And Thread And Thread
  • Moccasins
  • Leather Scraps
  • Sharp Scissors
  • Tweezers (optional)

Steps (8 steps, 30 minutes)

  1. 1

    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.

  2. 2

    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. 3

    Relace the shoe with the new shoelace.

  4. 4

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

  5. 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.

  6. 6

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

  7. 7

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

  8. 8

    You now have a pretty new pair of moccasins!
