~~~oo00oo~~~

Before you start; make sure the bow is the right size for the shoes and on sits on the top of your feet. 

I am sorry I have not to taken pictures while doing this. But this is very easy to create. I am drawing step by step  diagrams for the bottom part of the bow and the top part is similar tutorial as above except you are only using one bow.

Tutorial.

Fist, folded the material to create a rectangular shape to fit the horizontal length of the bow.

Then using a sewing machine, sew the two sides showing as white lines.

Then cut diagonally from bottom right corner to slightly up to top left. Then sew the edge as shown as white lines. Cut the extra triangular bottom part as you no longer need it. Repeat the whole process again so you will have two pieces of the exact same one.

Join them together as shown on below picture bye sew them straight and horizontally on the blue line.

Using glue gun, attach the bow to the bottom part you just created. Now you have one bow. Create another exact one for the other sandal.

Here are the 'before' and 'after' pictures.
