Best Beaches Inward Bali - Tassled Sandals

It is a piddling slowly into the summertime to live on doing a sandal DIY, but having but booked flights to Guam, Palau too Sri Lanka for the coming months, I experience similar it's nonetheless justified.

I convey a pair of Tommy Hilfiger leather too cord flip flops that convey been amongst me from United Mexican U.S. of A. to Australia, amongst stops inward Florida, Sri Lanka too Bali. Needless to say, they had seen ameliorate days. The cord was muddied too breaking inward many places but I couldn't quite throw them away yet. So they stayed inward the shoe cupboard for a spell until inspiration (read Pinterest too a pair of Zara sandals) hitting me.

Revamping the sandals was actually pretty straight forward. All you lot require are a few tools too supplies too a piddling time, patience too a duet of episodes of your favorite TV show.

SUPPLIES

• Thread (9m)
• Ribbon or Cord (60cm)
• Leather Strap (30cm)
• Metal rings (x6)
• Tassel heads (x4)

TOOLS

• an awl 
• scissors
• liquid glue
• pliers (small jewelry pliers are best)
• a bodkin (optional, but rattling handy for the concluding parts)

As my sandals had ii cords each, I idea the trial of winding the thread inward a form of figure eight closed to each cord created an interesting effect, equally good equally strengthening rattling weakened spots. This is the most time-consuming business office but mayhap the most impactful. I used 1 base of operations color too but added a piddling hint of some other color which I thence picked upward 1 time again inward other details, but the options are near endless (in fact, I'm already planning some other sandal revamp of a similar style). When winding, brand certain to describe the thread tight to actually strengthen it too avoid one-time pieces of cord showing through.

When you've finished winding the thread closed to the cord (or whatever initial back upward you're starting with), you'll require to catch your pliers too the metallic rings too add together them to either side of the primary strap.

Then, catch the leather strap too cutting ii pieces to become across your feet (I measured them straight on my foot). Then, amongst the awl, you'll require to brand holes on either halt too inward the middle of the strap. Pass some other metallic vociferation upward through the cardinal hole too attach the leather strap to the rings on the sandal straps. It's also a practiced fourth dimension to add together the ribbon to these metallic rings.

Now it's fourth dimension to brand the tassels. Cut pieces of thread roughly twice equally long equally you'd similar your tassels to be. Fold them inward one-half too thence set a blob of gum inward the tassel caput too twist the the folded threads into it. Let it dry out thence attach to the cardinal metallic ring.

Voila! All done!
