Lace Laces DIY

Remember these shoes? I thrifted them not too long ago, but the laces were a bit yellowed and I wanted to replace them. I saw some cute shoes at H&M with lace shoelaces and thought I could do that. Making these were so simple that it is barely a DIY... maybe more of a make it yourself idea!

You will need:
Lace trim
Clear tape
Glue of your choice
Scissors

1. Using your old laces as a guide for length, cut two pieces of lace.
2. Roll each end of the lace very tight. While rolling, dab with a bit of glue.
3. Wrap tightly with tape.
4. Lace your shoes and you're done!
Super simple... now go make them for all your canvas shoes!

Crafted: Wedding Pieces

I had the honor of making a few things for a friend's wedding. She wanted to incorporate the extra lace from her dress and lots of pearls.
Hand beading isn't easy, but it looks much cleaner than glue. Plus, something about it is relaxing to me. I love how it turned out and they looked absolutely stunning on her!
