Other possible closure options if you don’t have a sewing machine {or even if you do}
* Velcro {stick on or hand stitch on}
* Elastic -this will work also if you don’t have enough leather. {Use a solid piece in the back for a more fitted look or thin horizontal strips all the way down the back}
* Eyelets/Lace-up
* Hooks/Lace-up
* Buckles
* Chains

Jeans-loveMaegan

Wearing options
* Fold over the top and show the suede side.
* More ties or one long leather strip -criss-crossed all the way {like the Chloe’s or Rodarte’s} I actually would have preferred this but I only had enough leather left to make two for each side.
* With flats
* Over jeans/leggings
