If you’re into fashion you know how important it is to have that one-of-a-kind style piece that sets you a part from the rest. What’s a better way to do that other than creating it with your own crafty hands? Even if you’re not the queen of DIYs (getting the thread into that little needle hole is hard!), you can embroider your own loafers – I believe in you!
You will need:
Loafers
Patches (of your choice)
Super Glue (I used Gorilla glue, just try to pick one that is water resistant and works with soft materials)
Clothespins
Toothpick + Paper Plate/Scrap of Wax Paper
Directions:
1. Lay out your patches to figure out which ones you want to use and to ensure they fit on the loafer. Figure out where you want them to be placed so you're ready once there's glue on them. 2. Squirt a little bit of glue onto a plate and use a toothpick to spread the glue on the back of the patch, covering the entire back with a thin layer of glue. 3. Place the patch back on the loafer in the place you want and hold it in place for at least 1-2 minutes, or until the patch stays in place when you let go. 4. Then, use clothespins to hold the patch in place while it continues to set for a few hours. After a few hours, remove the clothespins and check to see if you missed any spots. If you did, carefully go back in with your toothpick and add a bit more glue in those spots, then hold again for several minutes. Repeat with your other shoe and you're good to go!
