The Brit & Co. slingbacks project is a great way to spruce up old shoes. If you are on a tight budget and needing a new pair of shoes to sport, this inexpensive and effective method is a great alternative.
Straps are such a simple addition to a pair of shoes that can completely transform it into a brand new look. The materials needed include, shoes, leather laces, neon shoelaces, a grommet tool kit and some grommets. You simply poke holes in the shoes using the grommet tool kit, and then choose your lace of choice and crisscross them as you please.
This project from the Brit & Co. blog is ideal for the fashionistas out there who like to play around with their wardrobes.
