So sorry to hear that! I've learned much if what I know from talented African women. They sometimes refer to whatever adhesive they are using as "gum." I do not know what that is, but maybe you can find that.

The earrings are wooden and the fabric is cotton. The glue being used is Mod Podge.

These are cotton fabrics, but I think some nylon blends will work. I've covered shoes with nylon. Thank you!

Mod Podge

You are most welcome.

It will still work if you use one. Hope it turns out beautifully for you, Sister! (I use two because I prefer the body of the clutch to be thicker.)

Hi! There are two videos on my channel that show the process. I hope they are helpful. 🙂 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNyXjMKixpbdgZc.htmlsi=fz5oqnEAqBMkWUsz kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6eEosppuNixpIk.htmlsi=y8ADs6EwrYrByKT2

Thank you! Awww, my father had all girls. 😊 How sweet of you do this! Well, after applying the fabric, when the Mod Podge is still damp/wet, I use a butter knife, spoon handle, or even my nail to feel where the "line" forms where the shoe meets the sole. I press into that line. If the Mod Podge is already dry, it might be a little harder to feel the line, but give it a try. On the video with the polka dot shoes you can see me using a utensil to do this. I hope I understood your question and prayerfully this answers it. Let me know how they turn out! 😁 kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a6eEosppuNixpIk.htmlsi=vnywk1osQGH6H0J_ kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aNyXjMKixpbdgZc.htmlsi=h5pJ5iXtcwyr9k5z

oh wow I think I get it now thanks so much for being so nice to teach me. Light bulb went on, I couldn't see how to get there before but now I do. I'm gonna try it out tomorrow, I need some throw-away test shoes like you say toward the end of one of your videos. See these other vids helped a ton so thx for linking them! I'll report back :)@@LadiesBlvd

@@michaelatkinson7917 Yes, get some cheap thrifted tester pairs. I can't wait to hear how it went!

Hmmmmm....I am not sure about that. I've never done it and I'm not sure how sanding would fix wrinkles. But maybe it is helpful for another type of wear/tear. If you do so, I'd love to know how it turns out!

Hi Sarah 👋🏾 Hmmmmm. I'm not sure what white sheet you're referring to. The back of the blue placemat is white. Maybe that's possibly what you saw and it looked like paper...

Thank you, Robin!

Hey there. I've never done shoes with a strap. There might be a tutorial somewhere online. Maybe you can give it a shot in a older pair if shoes if you're looking to do a pair. Hoping they turn out beautifully if you do. ❤️

The tutorials here are free!

I swear these are some of the best ideas I’ve seen and actually doable. Make more videos please!!! What else you got up your sleeve? I mean, men’s shirts! … that was life changing information and I’m not joking. I can’t wait to embellish a collar with the vintage costume jewelry I have collected and LOVE but don’t wear. Have you tried to do any simple embroidery to flare your collar? As you said 🎉

I let it dry for about 15/20 minutes. If repeatedly walking in water, the wax will wear off eventually. However, on shoes worn rarely, it should last a long time.

I saw the comment. I've cut the fabric as quickly as two hours later. Just make sure it is mostly dry. It will be within a few hours. Thanks. I just make content when I have time. Whoever it helps, whatever the number, I'm glad. 👍🏾

I would like to do this project with velvet. Did you try this fabric before? If so, any difficulties I should know about?

How long did you let the midge lodge sit before you applied the fabric. It looked instant but I know some glue has to set before you stick something to it. I think this was my previous prob with it. Lmao… and then how long do you let the layers of glue sit and how Many layers. If you could let me know those details I would be so grateful! Thanks :)

Glad you're ready! There is another video where I break down how I apply the fabric to a shoe step by step.

😍 I'm sure they'll be beautiful! ❤️

I'm working up to that! I want some tee's to match my canvas shoes.

Hi! I'm trying to follow your comment. I apply the smaller, backing first. Then the larger, front piece next.

Hi! It should be permanent if the shoe doesn't get wet! The fabric will start to detach if the shoe gets significantly wet.

If you walk on pavement, outside they will last longer than on gravel, grass, sand, or mulched surfaces. If you mostly wear them inside, they could last years, so long as you keep them dry. You can add a top coat of matte, satin, or gloss modge podge if you need stain resistance, and if you do get them wet ( and the fabric lifts off) you can apply some more modge podge and reglue them.

Yes, make them a unique and original pair that only you have!

I’m so glad you love your clutch! ❤️ When it comes to the velcro, a little bit of super glue can be used. Also, the fancy felt lining was something I tried for the video. I actually have only used regular felt as padding with my plain fabric on top. A drop of superglue may secure both sides to stop the tugging. I’m actually thinking about doing an updated version of this DIY with some better tips. Glad you love yours!

Thank you! #Motherhood ❤️

Thank you!

I don’t think so! LOL

No, I don’t! LOL Be careful. Maybe look into a leather dye and see if it can be used on faux leather. 🙂

(I wish you could post photos in the comment section. That would be awesome.) But to answer your question, yes, I’ve had it happen (slightly). For me, the darkening effect was never anything significant or noticeable. I chopped it up to me being a little heavy handed with the glue at times. Also, the type of blend, thickness, textile dye, etc. all contribute to potential “responses.” I usually use a cotton blend that is about as thick as a bandana. So sorry to hear that! If it’s too noticeable and you’re comfortable with them, rock ‘em Sister! 👠

TY! You have such a beautiful voice! That black cape dress you were wearing with the stripped hosiery was absolutely stunning.

@@LadiesBlvd you’re welcome! Awww thank you 🙏🏽

Thank you! ❤ Yeah, side hustles are front and center now!

Thank you!
