If you’re seriously into fashion and love to craft, these DIY no-sew embroidered loafers need to find their way into your closet. You can mix and match ’em to pair with any outfit, and they’re seriously so affordable to make. Now you can have your very own one-of-a-kind loafers! So what are you waiting for? Get crafting!
What you’ll need:
- Loafers (any color)
- Your choice of patches
- E6000 Glue
- Clothespins
- Paper plate or scrap of wax paper
Step One
Lay out your patches to figure out which ones you want to use and to ensure they fit on the loafer.
We went with flowers patches on both loafers instead of using different designs on each. But feel free to play around with what best suits your style.
Figure out where you want the patches to be placed so you’re ready once there’s glue on them.
Step Two
There are two ways you can go about adding glue to the patches.
We thought it was best to just squirt the glue straight onto the patch. But you can also squirt a little bit of glue onto a paper plate or scrap piece of wax paper and use a toothpick to spread the glue on the back of the patch.
Regardless of your preferred method, make sure you are covering the entire back of the patch with a thin layer of glue. You’ll want to at least have a paper plate to set the glue on when you’re not using it because it does get a little messy.
Step Three
Place the patch on the loafer where you want and hold it down long enough for the patch to stay in place once you let go.
Use clothespins to hold the patch in place while it continues to set for a few hours.
Step Four
After you’ve let the patches sit a few hours, remove the clothespins and check to see if any areas of the patch aren’t glued down. If so, carefully go back in and add a bit more glue in those spots; then hold.
Happy crafting, collegiettes!
