iLoveLeatherNYC's video: DIY AQUAZURRA FRINGE SANDALS

Hey party people! In today’s DIY tutorial we are doing a quick shoe “up-cycle” inspired by a pair of Aquazzura “Wild Thing” fringe suede sandals. In this video I show you how to cover the toe strap and make the ankle tie tassels. These are crazy cute and the tutorial can be modified depending on the shoe you have to work with. I bought a pair of heels from Zara (on sale) for about $36 dollars. I wanted mine to really stand out so will be using red suede + pre-stitched leather trim. I've dubbed these shoes: "Gotcha", cuz now I've got some (well sort of) In total I spent about $53.00 on materials, which includes the cost of the shoes. If for some reason you don’t have any of the tools mentioned in the video you will need to pick those up and are a separate cost. I will be using all of my usual suspects in terms of tools, but this time around I brought out a big gun the “rotary cutter”. If you are craft queen like myself you know this tool gets plenty of use and nothing can beat it for straight cuts, speed and accuracy. Its worth every penny and I use it more than scissors for cutting. This is video is part of my Summer Accessories series where I am making a handful of really cool items to rock this season. As always invest in some really great quality materials to get awesome results (side bar) if you buy a little more material you can use it for other projects and you’ve got yourself a set of beautifully coordinated accessories that can be mixed and matched. How cool is that? I show you how; the rest is up to you!! B.Dillinger P.S.
