You might have been seeing those on Pinterest, Instagram and so on for a while. You can purchase attachable Fringes for your Shoes in all kinds of colors and textures for 35$ - or just make them yourself. They are pretty easy to make and hide the dirtiness of your shoes within seconds! Wanna know how? Read all the easy instructions below :)
choose your fabric - some people would prefer something similar like the texture of the shoes they will be attached at. I prefer artificial leather in pastel-colors since its more waterproof than real leather and looks like candy.. haha. also, you need a cutter, a hot-glue gun and a pencil.
ATTENTION: I have a size 39, so you better measure your own shoes for a perfect fit! to cover the laces I need 7cm, for the back piece I add 3 more cm, which will be folded backwards in the final step. the visible part will be divided in 5-6 Fringes. But only around the half of the visible piece of leather, otherwise they will fall apart or look too loose. So, for me: 10cm piece of leather in total, 3cm on the back and 7cm on the front: 4cm will be cut in five 1cm - Tassels and the rest stays as it is.
10cm leather
7cm front - 3cm back
4 cm tassels lenght
1cm tassel width
You make 4 of them in total and always glue two pieces of them together. That will make them more solid. Afterwards you flip the backside and put a little bit of glue on the back, as well as on every tassel, so they won't slip away and add two little holes on each fringe for your shoe-laces. Try to measure them carefully, so they fit perfectly, not as mine :D and last but not least: Show me your pictures! have fun and tell me in the comments if its easy to understand. or even possible.
