Red Sandals with Cherries, a Remake Story Posted on 21 May 2012 and filed under Miscellaneous. This post is also available in: Croatian Old golden sandals have been hanging around my place and an idea has been brewing in my head, but only when Omnis Art Handmade announced their recycling competition Let’s recycle together I got down to work, transformed old golden sandals into new red sandals and entered them into the competition. Plus, the summer is coming and it is the time for a walk in red sandals with cherries, something I wanted for a long time. The remake story is published at Omnis Art portal and here it is as well, step-by-step to my new sandals. So… old pair of sandals, fabric, fusible interfacing, satin ribbons – around 40 cm of 5 mm wide ribbon and around 60 cm of 2 cm wide ribbon, decorations – in this case two sets of cherries, clip-on set from an old pair of earrings. Old sandals are very comfortable, their heels are beautiful, but there is too much gold and shine and everything for my taste right now. I discarded ankle buckle straps. Using a knife, I partially opened soles and took out the upper parts. I cut wider satin ribbon into two pieces each around 30 cm long. They will tie sandals around ankles. Narrow satin ribbon was cut into four pieces, two for each sandal. They will be glued onto heel straps. I sealed ribbon edges holding them briefly above the flame. Heel straps did not need to be discarded; I glued the narrow ribbon onto them. Hot glue was not good for this purpose, but universal glue holds just fine. I copied the upper part and made a simple pattern taking care that final dimension – width of the upper part, was the same as of the original upper part. I cut the new upper part from fabric and fusible interfacing, two pieces each. Using the same materials I cut the ribbon that will act as the upper part strap. The fabric was cut a bit wider than the pattern – leaving some fabric for the hem. I left the sides wider – that extra fabric will be glued into the sole. I fused the interfacing to the fabric. I hemmed ribbons/upper part straps, folded them in half and joined them with a seam leaving an opening at the top – this is where the ribbon that will be tied around an ankle will be inserted. I hemmed the upper part and attached the strap in the middle. More interfacing, this time some millimetres narrower than the basic pattern. Fused to the inside of the upper part it will make the upper part firmer and protect hems. Lines had to be drawn at the outer side, as marks for inserting the upper part into the sole. Tiny cuts made in the extra fabric on the sides will make the fabric easier to shape. I glued the upper part into the sole using hot glue, excellent for the purpose. Sandals are ready. Now for decorations! In this case, polymer clay cherries with fabric ribbon around their stems, so I attached them with several stitches to a piece of fabric and glued the piece of fabric to a clip-on. Wide satin ribbons have been ready from before, now I just have to pull them through straps, attach decorations – and enjoy the walk!

Crvene sandale s trešnjama, priča o preobrazbi Posted on 21 svibnja 2012 and filed under Razno. This post is also available in: English Po kući su se smucale stare zlatne sandale i ideja se motala po glavi. No tek kada je Omnis Art Handmade raspisao natječaj Reciklirajmo zajedno uhvatila sam se posla, preobrazila sam stare zlatne sandale u nove crvene i poslala ih na natječaj. Plus, dolazi ljeto i vrijeme je za šetnju u crvenim sandalama s trešnjama, nešto što sam dugo željela. Priča o preobrazbi sandala objavljena je na Omnis Art portalu, evo je i ovdje, korak-po-korak do mojih novih sandala. Dakle, stari par sandala, tkanina, flizelin, satenske trake – oko 40 cm trake širine 5 mm i oko 60 cm trake širine 2 cm, ukrasi koji će biti na sandalama – dva para trešnji, klipse za naušnice sa starih naušnica. Stare sandale su jako udobne, imaju krasnu petu, ali nekako mi imaju previše zlata i blještavila i svega. Izvukla sam remene kojima se sandale kopčaju oko zglobova. Nožem sam djelomično dovojila potplat, odlijepila i izvukla gornje dijelove. Širu satensku traku izrezala sam na dva komada od oko 30 cm svaki. Njima će se sandale vezati oko zglobova. Užu satensku traku izrezala sam na četiri komada, za svaku sandalu po dva. Te će trake doći na remenčiće pored peta. Trake sam zarubila kratkim taljenjem iznad plamena. Remenčiće pored peta nisam odvajala, nego sam na njih zalijepila užu satensku traku. Vruće ljepilo nije držalo na kožnom remenčiću, ali univerzalno ljepilo drži. Gornji dio sam prekopirala i nacrtala jednostavni kroj pazeći da konačna dimenzija – širina gornjeg dijela sandala, bude jednaka originalnoj. Iskrojila sam novi gornji dio po dva puta od tkanine i od flizelina, te trake koje će biti remenčić gornjeg dijela sandala i flizelin za njih. Tkaninu sam krojila malo šire od kroja, za rubove. Pazila sam da strane koje dođu u đon budu barem centimetar šire od kroja – taj dio će se ulijepiti u đon. Zapeglala sam flizelin na tkaninu. Trake/remenčiće za gornji dio sam zarubila. Preklopila sam ih i spojila, ostavivši na vrhu trake otvor kroz koji će prolaziti traka za vezanje oko zgloba. Porubila sam gornji dio sandala i na sredinu našila remenčić. Još flizelina – ovaj put iskrojen nekoliko milimetara uže od osnovnog kroja. Zalijepljen na unutrašnju stranju gornjeg dijela učinit će ga čvršćim i zaštititi rubove. S vanjske strane trebalo je označiti linije do koje će gornji dio ulaziti u đon. Materijal koji će ući u đon zarezala sam na nekoliko mjesta, da bi se pri umetanju lakše oblikovao. Ulijepila sam gornji dio sandale u đon. Koristila sam vruće ljepilo i pokazalo se kao sjajno za ovu svrhu. I sandale su spremne. Sada ukrasi! Koristila sam trešnje od fimo mase s peteljkom omotanom trakom od tkanine, pa sam s par šavova učvrstila peteljke na komadić tkanine i zalijepila taj komadić tkanine na klipsu. Šire satenske trake bile su spremne otprije, još ih samo treba provući kroz remenčiće, staviti klipse s trešnjama – i uživati u šetnji! S ljubavlju, Mare
