These Homemade Harry Potter Shoes Were Inspired by the Golden Snitch

— June 25, 2014 — Fashion
If you're a die-hard fan of the Harry Potter films, chances are you’ll appreciate this DIY golden snitch sandal tutorial that teaches you to turn leather and golden material into wearable Quidditch footwear.

If you’re something of a sewing genius—or you have magical powers—this tutorial shouldn’t be too hard for you to follow along with. After following a pattern to make your very own leather soles you can begin to create the golden snitch straps. The straps are made from a glittering gold material fringe to replicate the wings of the golden snitch Quidditch ball. Along the front of the sandal is an exact replica of the snitch ball made from fabric embellishments. Once these shoes are complete, you can wear them around town and everyone will know how much of a Harry Potter fan you are.
