Fabric Shoe Embelishments

Remember my embroidered shoes I decorated a while back? Well I wanted to make something fun like that for Kevin's sister for Christmas! I found these striped red shoes at target (I have them in blue as well...so I know they are great!) And I used fun fabric scraps to decorate them!


 
All you do is use the iron on webbing, and iron it to the back of the scraps. Then pull off the paper, and iron it to the shoes. I used a washcloth for support, to iron it on the shoes.
Then sew around it as you would like! I use a thick needle (from the craft store) I think its used for some kind of basket sewing? But they work great for sewing through canvas. Just be gentle, and use a thimble. (I broke one needle during these)

And that's it!
