D.I.Y - Ankara Espadrilles

P.R.I.N.T.S are an absolute no.1 for me this summmer and there's nothing more fulfilling than tranforming something you were so close to chucking out, into something you cannott see your shoe stash surviving without!

Feeling the look? Well here is what you need...

[Espadrilles from £3 @ Primark, Ankara can be bought from most markets e.g. Liverpool Street Market, Glue Gun £9.99, Time - 1-2 hours]

INSTRUCTIONS

[see photos below]

- Cut slightly oversized piece of Ankara and place unto the drilles using pins to secure

- Once pins have been secured, begin to fold and glue the side unsecured by the pins

- Once one side has been glued, move unto the unglued/pinned side, remove pins gradually and begin to glue the material to the drilles

- Repeat above for the front of the drilles

- FINISHED!!! -

Please be careful with the glue as it gets very hot, don't be tempted to touch it like I did! Also, allow 10-15 minutes for last glued section to cool and set.

Et voila!

Any cool ideas for the next project? I'm on a D.I.Y high?!

Avec amour... Fiona
