Get the look of couture without breaking the bank!
We love the world of couture designers here at B and WeddingsOnline.ie and even more than that, we love couture on the cheap! So when we found this Christian Louboutin look alike; we knew it would be perfect for our DIY special. We found it on fashion blogger, Maegan Tintari’s site, lovemaegan.com. It is everything a DIY project should be; easy to do, economical and looks far more expensive than it is. We won’t tell if you don’t!
Materials:
Strappy sandals (heels or flats)
About one yard {or less} sheer fabric
Scissors
Needle and thread
6/8” matching ribbon
Velcro
Step 1: Cut out three petal bases for each shoe -about 3-1/2” at their widest.
Step Two: Try on shoe and measure strap to strap - cut ribbon adding about 2” to each end. Mark with pins where to begin & end petals.
Step Three: Cut out 3” single petals - as many as you need - {they don’t have to be perfect - a bit of frayed edges ads great texture}.
Step Four: Stitch three bases onto ribbon one at a time, pinching a bit to pucker.
Step Five: Add single petals on top of the bases, filling in the spaces and adding volume. It’s up to you how fluffy you want them.
Step Six: Cut out and stitch on Velcro {burn edges of ribbon to prevent from fraying}
