Step 1
Swap your sneaker laces with laces in a new color, a length of textured ribbon or printed twill tape. Wrap lace around sandal straps, glue decorative trim to plain flip-flops or use ribbon and jump rings to add small charms to any shoe.
-
Step 2
Add a clip-on earring as a quick, interchangeable touch of glamour. Simply open the back, position the button or dangle earring at the top of the shoe and then snap the clasp shut.
-
Step 3
Dress up plain sandals and flip-flops by affixing metal studs or self-adhesive rhinestones along the straps. Arrange small gems around the tops or toes of your pumps and sneakers.
-
Step 4
Make a statement by adding iron-on patches and decals to canvas shoes. If you'd rather not affix them permanently, simply add the back half of a piece of Velcro to your shoe. Adhere the other half to assorted patches, then wear and change the designs at will.
-
Step 5
Create your own artwork with fabric markers or fabric paint. Draw a motif, decorate the straps, change the color of one panel or write a message along the side of your shoe to make a personal statement.
