Cut the leather into rectangles for the bows of around 10 - 12 cm long and 4 cm wide, nbsp;and two smaller strips or around 5cm long and 1 cm wide/divdiv style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"2. Using scissors, round the ends and then pinch them in the middle to create the bows./divdiv style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"3. Wrap the smaller strips around the pinched in sections and glue the back side to secure./divdiv style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"4. Glue the bows to the back of your heels.nbsp;You could easily stitch a snap to the bow/your shoe if you didn't want the bows to be permanent, or attach with and hook and eye to be able to put them on and take them off.br /br //divdiv style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"/divdiv/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pd84lfQtXEU/Ts8pXSDnCLI/AAAAAAAAFrU/VXzj3wBIqrU/s1600/DSC_0549.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"img border="0" hda="true" height="450px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-Pd84lfQtXEU/Ts8pXSDnCLI/AAAAAAAAFrU/VXzj3wBIqrU/s640/DSC_0549.JPG" width="640px" //a/divdiv/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UbgZD6wFLmw/Ts8pUpU4nwI/AAAAAAAAFrM/sCv0Co4nWqY/s1600/DSC_0551.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"img border="0" hda="true" height="430px" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UbgZD6wFLmw/Ts8pUpU4nwI/AAAAAAAAFrM/sCv0Co4nWqY/s640/DSC_0551.JPG" width="640px" //a/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h-oSgkp592I/TtI_ncha1YI/AAAAAAAAFsk/Uw7fyVlKMXc/s1600/DSC_0553.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"img border="0" height="430px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-h-oSgkp592I/TtI_ncha1YI/AAAAAAAAFsk/Uw7fyVlKMXc/s640/DSC_0553.JPG" width="640px" //a/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"br //divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"Ahhh, so cute!/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"br //divdiv/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ro9HGcDT2Ng/Ts8pa920RYI/AAAAAAAAFrc/N9y5FSN1m3E/s1600/DSC_0562.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"img border="0" hda="true" height="436px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ro9HGcDT2Ng/Ts8pa920RYI/AAAAAAAAFrc/N9y5FSN1m3E/s640/DSC_0562.JPG" width="640px" //a/divdiv/divdiv class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hl57fuPvlZg/Ts8pdAt71WI/AAAAAAAAFrk/NRXMooM-shc/s1600/DSC_0565.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"img border="0" hda="true" height="482px" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Hl57fuPvlZg/Ts8pdAt71WI/AAAAAAAAFrk/NRXMooM-shc/s640/DSC_0565.jpg" width="640px" //a/divbr /div/divdivdiv style="text-align: justify;"div style="text-align: justify;"For me this type of DIY project epitomises everything good about makingnbsp;things yourself.nbsp;It's a simple, well executednbsp; idea that takes only a little time and uses inexpensive materials - but manages to updatenbsp;the whole look of an item.
