How to tie sandals yourself
Every girl in the wardrobe always has old sandals, which have torn or stretched the top.On their basis, you can make yourself stylish knitted shoes (of course, provided that the sole is still in good condition).
Pay special attention to the choice of yarn. For summer models, natural raw materials (cotton or linen) are ideal, only a small synthetic additive is permissible.
Of course, natural threads are not as practical as synthetics. However, in such sandals your foot will not slip, which is especially important for summer shoes (slipping on a high heel or wedge can cause injury).
The color of the thread also matters. Too light colors (white, beige, pink), considering the condition of our roads, are not very practical.
Always original looks blend yarn.
- Starting work, it is necessary to pierce the holes around the perimeter of the sole (at a distance of no more than a centimeter from each other). For this purpose you will need an awl. If the sole is soft enough, it will be easy to do. Holes must be wide enough for a thread to pass through.
- Work is done by hook. We connect the yarn with fishing line and begin strapping the soles with single crochets. You need to knit extremely tightly so that the top does not stretch when you wear shoes. In this way we tie all the holes.
- Next, remove the line and knit a few more rows with single crochets to form a dense canvas. And after that we remove the line and proceed to the main pattern.
- With the help of nakidov we form an openwork mesh or any other pattern to your liking, tying the heel and toe section separately.
- In the process, you need to measure sandals to ensure their convenience.
Some needlewomen separately knit the upper part of the sandals, and then stick it to the sole, especially if it is thick and tough. Sometimes extra knit and more insole.
To decorate the finished product, in addition to pebbles, beads and rhinestones, you can link a flower from the same yarn.
On the basis of sandals with torn straps and again, with a decent sole, you can build a product in the style of macrame. Cut off the worn part, arm yourself with linen threads and start weaving.
Lace makes sandals just gorgeous. You can transform an old pair of shoes with a lace ribbon, glue and a small amount of spare time.
If you want to knit sandals for your little daughter, who still does not know how to walk, then you just need thick shoe insoles.
