    1. Thanks Maegan, i think you’re right about the glue hand-stitching would probably hold better. E6000 is also another good option its really strong once it dries… and those shoes and bag are amazing! I’ve wanted to try that DIY for a while now.

  1. Love this idea!
    Thank you to wenq502 for stating where to find the sandals!! I went there the other day and bought 5 pairs to decorate.
