Here is a simple and yet fun project using basic black flats. I bought these at a stand from my local Farmers' Market. They were only $10! So I couldn't resist! I never ended up wearing them and began to collect dust in our storage room. I decided a change was needed to make these shoes wearable. As I was walking around Joann, ideas starting coming to mind and I ended up purchasing (2) gold bracelet toggles, a bag of silver end connectors, leather band lace, and a metallic gold lace.
This is the what the Mary Jane flats looked like when I first bought them.

Black leather band I sewed to the back of the shoe.
This is the final product! So I know I skipped a few steps, I was so into it that I completely forgot to take progress photos. :( But as you can see, I used the gold lace, gold toggles, and silver end connectors to make the ankle wrap.
Here is a close up of the ankle wrap with all the jewelery hardware.
I also found some other fun uses for the ankle wrap!
A bracelet!
There you go! A pair of black flats reconstructed/altered to my liking with 3 uses in 1 product. What do you think? :)
