I gladly accepted New York Design Shop’s Create Couture DIY Blogger Challenge who then sent me & 9 other DIYers a box of goodies to get creative with and this is one of mine.
* about 20″ of feather fringe {depending on ankle size}
* satin ribbon
* needle & thread
* wearing the shoes you want to accessorize, use the feather fringe to measure your ankles
* snip accordingly
* make sure the feathers curve down not out and up
* cut 4 ribbons about 20″ long each & singe the ends to prevent fraying
* fold ribbons over ends of feather fringe & hand-stitch securing ribbon & feathers in place
* wrap ribbons around ankles and tie in back snipping off extra length if necessary
And since the white feathers may look like little feather dusters around your ankles and would best be worn on Halloween with a French Maid costume, I recommend using the black feather fringe and wearing them over your favorite black booties or sandals with tights for Fall.
* layer rhinestone necklaces around the top & wear one or both around your neck
* if they’re a little too over the top glam for you, they would be perfect as part of your Lady GaGa Halloween costume
* also may be worn around your head, waist or upper arms, tied onto your bag, wrapped around a wide-brimmed hat, or around your pet 😉
Have fun!
