Barefoot Lace SandalsSummer days might be creeping closer to the fall, but I say that’s all the more reason to go out with a crafty bang! There’s nothing quite like running barefoot in the warm summer grass, and sometimes you just don’t want anything between your feet and the world. That doesn’t mean your feet can’t still have the benefit of some delicate glam! These beauties are called barefoot sandals, and they’re very easy to make to celebrate those last hot summer nights. SuppliesWe’re going to be creating our sandals with the help of some freestanding lace, and then some chains, ribbon and charms. Here’s what you’ll need:

Steps To Complete

First things first. We need some lace! Hoop up your water-soluble stabilizer and stitch your pieces. You’ll want two lace feathers and two bottom pieces from the lace cuff. These are both from the Evenfall collection. Never stitched freestanding lace before? Check out this tutorial for tips and tricks to get it to turn out just the way you want it! Once your lace is done, soak it according to the package directions to remove the stabilizer. |

I found it kind of helps to let the lace dry into the shape you wish it to be. Since these two pieces are going to be going on the feet, I wanted a bit of a curve. I set them out to dry on the curved plastic tube of the stabilizer. The feathers I left to dry flat. |

Once it’s dry, try it out on your feet! |
