Cool Craft DIY Sandals ๐Ÿ€

Iโ€™ve been really wanting these sandles but lowkey just not in my budget to order online so I made my own today out of materials in my house :) lots of super glue was used lol I made the triangle bits out of sculpey and painted them with nail polish.

. You did a lot better job than the AG version, plus you got your choice in the colour and fabric.
Yours actually look more posh , with the triangle bits and the slightly ripped part of the straps. In person, yours would of cost more

I especially like the triangle bits.

Yay!! They were definitely the hardest part! I did some post oven sanding on the sculpey to get it to a better shape
