The bow pumps seen over and again on fashion blogs, Instagram, and Pinterest are just adorable. They belong to Aminah Abdul Jillil and while I love an elegant standout shoe, the bows were just a tad too big for my body frame and tiny ankles, so what did I do? DIY a pair of black ankle pumps I already own, of course. This way I get the best of both worlds because the bows are convertible. I slip them on when I want a dash of elegance and remove them when the day calls for a basic black pump. 2 styles, 1 pair of shoe.
Go on and scroll below for an easy guide to creating the perfect bow for your ankle pumps. Happy crafting!
- A pair of black pumps with ankle straps
- 2 yards of black ribbon ( I used 1.5 inches of grossgrain ribbon, but velvet and satin are also great options.)
- Safety pin
- Scissors
- Krazy Glue
Done! Now slip on the pumps and do a little dance! They are great for weddings, dinner
parties, black tie events, and my personal favorite, it's the perfect accessory for the holidays!
