Supplies
• One pair of old heels
• one oblong scarf (at least 2.5 feet long)
Get To It
1. Put on the pumps.
2. Cut the oblong scarf in half, so that you have two long strips.
3. Hem the raw edges of the two strips.
4. Take one of the strips and wrap it under the sole at the arch, than cross the strip over the front of your ankle.
5. Tie a bow at the back of your ankle (onto the back trap of you heels if possible). Or, wrap the strip up your leg and tie at mid-calf.
6. Repeat for the other shoe.
