How to: sew Your Own Shoelaces

shoelaces1.jpgLove fabric? Inching towards learning to sew? Get a step closer by making these fantastic DIY shoelaces!

Regular shoelaces are just so - ugh! They're functional but usually not much more. But with these DIY laces by Sew Lisette, you can dress up your shoes and give old kicks new life.

Plus, this is a great project for learning how to do a lot more than dress up your shoes.

After all, a lot of the skills you'll use to make these shoelaces - careful cutting, making bias tape, and ironing like your life depends on it - are exactly the same you'll use later in your crafting career to make actual, wearable garments. Really!

One quick bit of demystification: washi tape is simply brightly colored masking tape. Score some on Etsy, or just experiment with the ordinary stuff!

Got the idea? Time to get clipping - and let us how you get on, in our comments section.
