D-I-Y class # 1

i am a little excited for my first D-I-Y post ever. EEEEEEEEEP. okay, excitement over. here we go.
you will need:
1 pair of plain black (or white) canvas sneakers with shoelaces.
about 3 meters or so of lace in black or white, whatever colour your shoes are not - i don't really know the exact amount, but a way to find out would be to remove the existing laces from the shoes and measure them, and then get the same amount of lace as the combined laces from your shoes.
also, make sure the lace isn't too flimsy, as you don't want these amazing shoes to break.

step one: remove exisitng laces from shoes

step two: cut lace to required length and thread through holes in sneakers

step three: tie in pretty bows and wear with fabulous outfits.

note: this should cost you at the very least, $12 (ish), if you get some inexpensive/secondhand shoes, and lace from a craft store. it might even cost you less. and just quietly, these shoes cost in the $40 range from modcloth, which isn't really all that expensive, but if you can make them for cheaper yourself, why not right?
