RIBBON SHOES

(( A Tutorial ))

~

I bought the magazine, Paper Trends, because of this tutorial in it.

I want to share it for anyone else who would like to make

a pair... or be inspired to cover something else with ribbon.

Let your imagination fly!

1. Use a pair of shoes that is as plain as possible. Even canvas shoes

will work.

2. Gather up ribbon scraps or buy some ribbon to match an outfit.

3. Paint RIBBONSTIFF by Strano Designs across the back of each

ribbon and let it dry.

4. Start with the heel of one shoe. Measure a wide piece of ribbon
and fold in half over the heel. Glue in place

5. Measure, cut, and glue pieces of ribbon to cover the rest of the shoe.

You can put the ribbon edges flush with each other or overlap them.

6. To help keep the ribbon stay in place, paint over them with several

coats of a decoupage medium.

Use strong double-sided adhesive to attach the ribbon

or you can try using the decoupage medium.

Just think of all the possibilities!!

I'm thinking of a ribbon purse or clutch.
