After seeing these lovely booties online somewhere, I fell in love.
I was instantly inspired and knew I could do something like this myself.
Do you want them too?? Here's how to do it yourself!
Supplies
1. Fabric (I used faux leather)
2. Velcro ( You need 2 sets of connecting pieces to make both cuffs)
3. Scissors
4. Felt (I measured around my ankle & added about a 1 1/2 overlap)
5. Needle & thread ( I hand sewed mine but you can use your sewing machine)
1. I measured my faux leather to the length of my felt & cut to make the first layer.
2. I pinned over about 1/2 an inch so that when I sewed it onto the felt it would have a more finished look.
3. Sew the first layer (the bottom layer) onto the felt (about 1/2 an inch from the bottom of the felt)
It should look like this once you have sewn the first piece on from step 3.
4. Repeat steps 1-3 for the top layer: cut, pin, & sew.
5. Cut strips to create the fringe as thick or skinny as you like.
My first few cuts were a little crazy as you can see but they looked better as I kept cutting.
6. Place the cuff around your ankle and locate where you want your velcro to attach to each other for a good fit. Pin one side of the velcro to the outside & sew into place.
7. The other side of the velcro will be sewn to the opposite end on the inside of the cuff. This is the end that will wrap around your ankle to meet where you've placed the other piece of velcro that connects to it.
8. This has only made one cuff so far, so you need to repeat all of these steps to make the second one.
That's pretty much it! Now just wear with whatever shoes you like.
Feel free to trim the fringe shorter if you like or just try this with one layer of fringe.
Hope you all enjoyed this :)
