Kids shoes restyled and given new life!

My daughter was given this cute pair of dressy sandals some time ago but they were too big for her at the time. She was needing some new shoes and I happened to run across these in the closet! Yay!! Glad I found them before going out shopping. :) They were missing some sequins that had been on the straps across the toe area but otherwise were in great condition.

I decided to give the shoes a new life so I measured the straps and cut some strips of fabric that were double that measurement. Then I made a tube from the fabric and turned it right side out and stitched a basting stitch down the center of the fabric tube to gather the fabric. After gathering I glue the ruffles to the straps on the shoes.

Here is how they turned out. . . I thought they turned out really well and my daughter loves them. . . and thats what matters. :)
