I was chosen as the winner of last month’s Echoed Contest on P.S. – I Made This after posting my DIY Collar Necklace on their website. Hilary at "P.S." sent me the ingredients to make TasselBootie. Since the boot is no longer available I was sent a $100.00 Nine West Gift Card along with the supplies. How cool is that!!!
For spring I came up with my take on Tassel Bootie. I call it, “Open Toe Chained Tassel.” It’s more of an ankle bracelet for open toe shoes.
I started by cutting a triangle shape out of heavy duty cardboard. I then covered the front and back with Gorilla Duct Tape, trimming it to shape. I cut the leather trim into two 6" pieces and made 1/4 fringes out of the pieces. Combining the two, I folded it into three, gluing down each side.
I made a hole in the top with a T pin and pushed an open "jump ring" from the chain through the hole and closed it.
After measuring the total length for the chain, 7 1/2 inches which included a clasp in the middle to open, I made the same type of holes for the other two ends of the triangle.
So easy to make!
Now if I just had a dance to go to!
This piece is very versatile - also working great with any plain heels or sandals!
Thanks again to Hilary@psimadethis for everything! What an honor!
