What you need:

• Shoes
• 2 pieces of elastic
• needle
• matching coloured thread

Press down on the end of a shoe to make a flat triangular shape. The arrows show where you need to attach the ribbon.

2

Sew down one side first.

3

Get the wearer to put the shoe on and guide the elastic over their foot to fit comfortably.

Tip:

Inside the band that runs around the opening of the shoe is a drawstring so that the wearer can adjust the fit. Avoid sewing through it when you attach the ribbon/elastic.

5

Sew the other side, remembering the position shown in drawing 1 above.

Now repeat the entire process for the other shoe.
