How to Make a Star With Vans
Vans footwear is a popular brand of shoes worn by skateboarders. Many skaters like to wear shoes that fit loosely on the feet, which makes it easy to take the shoes off or to put the shoes back on again. As the laces do not need to be pulled tight, often the laced are tied in a creative way to add flair to the shoe. A six-sided hexagram star lacing pattern on the front of a pair of Vans will help your shoes stand out. Does this Spark an idea?
