"S" is for Shoe Clips

Sew: silver shoe clips


Embellish your boring shoes with ruffley, floral silver shoe clips.


I am not a shoe person at all but I was looking to update some comfy flats.

I used some scrap silver fabric cut on the bias, ruffled and glued to a binder clip and now my shoes are a tiny bit fancy, fun and ready for never never land.


Here's how I made the shoe clips:

1. Cut bias strips of silver fabric at 1 1/2"wide x 40" (longer = bigger flower):


2. Sew a long zig zag stitch near one edge of fabric strip then pull one thread to make the gather:


3. Check binder clip for size and fit:


4. Using hot glue roll fabric into circular shape keeping all gathered edges down towards center of flower shape.  Then glue one flat edge of binder clip to flower:


5. Clip flower onto shoe:


6. Remove one side of metal lever by pinching together long sides of metal piece and popping out of grooves:


Now your shoes are updated, cute and ready to wear:
