What you will need for this project:
Heels
80cm x 40cms of matching or contrasting fabric
Stuffing - I use eucalyptus fibre filling
2 pom-poms
Glue gun or superglue
Pins
Scissors
Thread
Sewing machine or needle
A brooch attachment or some way to attach it to the shoe (ideally the back of a clip on earring.
Step 1
Make up your bow pattern, which is a 17cm x 9cm rectangle. Of course you can just cut the fabric directly, but I always make the pattern so I can file it away in case I want to make this again.
You can make the pattern smaller or larger to fit your shoe style. Changing the size will not change the following Instructions at all.
Step 2
Place the fabric right sides together and sew all around the rectangle (.75cm hem), leaving a 1 inch gap on one side.
Step 3
Cut the corners off which will create better points.
Turn the bow right side out by pulling it through the opening.
I gently use a chopstick to push out the edges from the inside.
Step 4
Stuff each side of the bow with filling, keeping the left and right sides separate. To do this i Pin down the middle to keep the stuffing in place.
Step 5
Pin the opening closed and sew it shut. Then sew down the middle of the bow.
Step 6
Twist the bow and pin in place. Sew down the middle of the bow.
Step 7
Glue the pom-poms in place with a glue gun or super glue.
Step 8
Turn the bows over and glue the attachments in place. Wait to cool and attach to shoes!
