The story behind this DIY is two-fold. 1. I found these oxfords at Old Navy on dirt cheap clearance a while ago. I snagged them up and thought they would be SO fun with floral fabric modpodged onto a few sections. Then, a very popular blog posted this post literally days after I bought them.
Nuts! Someone beat me to it. Think, Kim.What else can you do with these?
2. Lo, and behold, I saw these shoes at Nordstrom a few weeks later and fell in love.

It was a perfect storm for some DIY goodness. Ready to make some of these beauties?
Here’s what you’ll need:
Oxford flatsFabric or RibbonScissorsTapeDr. Pepper ((just kidding. not necessary, just encouraged))
Step one: Using the length of your fabric ((starting at the selvedge, going to the fold)), cut two 2.5 inch strips.
Step two:Trim the ends so that they are more narrow than the rest of the strip and roll up.
Step three:Wrap the rolled up tips in tape. This will help the fabric go through the shoe-string holes
Step four: Tie as usual & put on before you tie your bow. Tie bow to desired size and trim the ends
Step five: Strut your stuff
