{Above image from Jane @ Sea of Shoes below is my DIY}
Inspired by the YSL Cage Sandal in silver metallic leather {which are now on sale for $799}, and seen on Sea of Shoes, I decided to just make my own. Now, this would probably have been easier had I just used 1/8″ ribbon and glue to make the grid but I didn’t want it to look costume-y. And in the meantime, I also made a caged cuff and choker and I’m honestly thinking about making a belt but that would take forever.
What you’ll need . . .
Leather {I used an old leather skirt I don’t like}, ruler, razor, 3/8″ black ribbon for ankle {YSL’s are velvet, I used satin}, 1/8″ ribbon to tie on front {matching color – I spray painted mine but it kind of rubbed off}, silver heels & silver spray paint {if you have black heels, you can skip the spray paint}.
. . . caged lace up cuff
…lace a ribbon through the edges and create a cuff and with two: a choker
. . .finishing the shoes
*skip if doing black on black
Voila!
*or double ribbon and tie on the side like this
…love.
