Shoe jewellery is pretty fun! Here’s how to make a sparkly decoration for your fave shoes using some string and some rhinestone embellished beads. I made this one long enough that you could also clip the ends together so you can wear it around boots. Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need these tools and materials to make this shoe chain:
1: A piece of string about 35-40cm long.

Follow these steps to make your shoe chain using string and beads:
1: Add one of the lobster clasps to one end of the string and tie a knot.
2: Tie two more knots, leaving the end for now.
3: Add the beads to the string.
4: Add the second lobster clasp to the other end of the string and tie three knots as you did in steps 1 and 2.
5: Trim the ends of the string using your scissors.
6: Add a dab of superglue to the knots to secure them then set it aside to dry.
Now your Shoe Chain is finished. Here it is clipped to some low top sneakers, but you could experiment and add them to high-tops or boots!
