How to create personalized loafers.

About

Personalized loafers are pretty popular among the Style Bloggers right now. Many Designers offer online module-systems where the customers can basically design their own model by specifying form, color, material and put their own monogram onto the shoes. The price range lies between 150$ and 800$ for a pair and the waiting time is about 2-3 weeks.

Much quicker and much cheaper is this DIY version. You will need to invest some time for the twine border line but otherwise this shoes makeover is a simple process.

You Will Need (10 things)

  • Loafer Shoes
  • 2 Crest Patches
  • 4 Wooden Beads
  • Bakers Twine
  • Red Nail polisher
  • Scissors
  • Glue
  • Thread
  • Sewing Needle
  • Thimble

Steps (7 steps, 240 minutes)

  1. 1

    What you will need...

  2. 2

    Paint the beads with red nail polisher. You can use the regular plastic red beads but the wooden beads are lighter.

  3. 3

    Cut a long piece of the twine and attach it to the loafer with the regular thread along the edge. Use the thimble and a strong but thin needle to be able to get through the material of the shoe.

  4. 4

    Make a knot at the shoe's ferse and secure the bow with the regular thread and needle.

  5. 5

    Put the beads onto the ends of the bow and secure with 2 knots.

  6. 6

    Glue the patches onto the "nose" of the loafers. I used two different patches to give the loafers an unique design.

  7. 7

    Finished loafers.
