This is a tutorial on how to cover your old shoe with a cloth, eg ankara or wrapper material.
Here is ''how to'' revamp an old shoe or clutch in to a beautiful ankara clutch bag and shoe. Its a pictorial so don't worry. It's easy!
Things you will need.
The shoe you want to cover,
Ankara material,
I will be using my old Fioni shoe here, I had not worn it in a while and when I did, it was acting up so I decided to change its look.
.
Apply glue to the heels vigorously
Now attach ur ankara to it just like this.
permit my camera, fold the edge b4 attaching
and viola,,, the heel's done.
To the body of the shoe, do same, apply the glue to it and then attach the ankara to it and smoothen it.
Trim off excess material and apply the glu beneath fold the excess under.
Half done, here is the trickest part. The ankara might just stop somewhere, dont panic. Just fold the edge of another piece and attach neatly.
Attach it neatly and remember folding the edges b4 attaching it to the glue/shoe...
Like this
Way to go, its coming up.
FINISHED Work
That's it
Watch out for the clutch tutorial coming soon.
This is me rocking this Fioni Shoe in Dakar, Senegal some time ago.
