Personalize your sneakers quickly and easily

Today we bring you a very simple tutorial to renew your sneakers that you can do yourself!
This DIY project is easy, quick, and completely customizable, so your sneakers will be the center of attention this summer. Follow the step-by-step instructions to create lace embellishments. Include a variety of colors and let your imagination run wild.

A small detail changes everything

Our style is unique and special, which is why I want to add a part of my personality to my sneakers. We'll select colorful beads and letters to create special designs on my shoelaces. There are no limits to customizing our shoes; just let yourself go. Include seed beads, pearls, beads, and charms of all kinds. You can choose them to match the colors of your shoes, or choose ones that contrast and stand out.

What will we need?

The materials are very simple and easy to obtain.
  • Beads of all kinds. A variety of colorful beads will make your sneakers look even more fun. Try different colors and shapes. You can find these at arts and crafts stores.
  • Sneakers, boots, ankle boots, or any footwear you want to customize, as long as it has laces. Our Mumkas have super special designs that will look great with beads. I invite you to see our variety of vegan-friendly shoes here.
  • A thin stick or needle to help you insert the beads.
  • And above all… Desire to create! Materials to complete the tutorial

Step by step:

As I mentioned earlier, there's no perfect or unique formula for this DIY project; the shapes are as unique as the people. Therefore, I invite you to feel free to create the design and color combinations you like best.
Unfold the beads and use your creativity to combine different colors and create words for each foot. Mix and match different shapes.

When you think you've defined your design, remove the laces from the shoes and thread each bead onto the lace using the needle or toothpick if not needed, and pass the lace through the eyelet.

Thread alternately while placing the laces.

In the first row I recommend adding a highlighted phrase or word and in the following rows other combined accounts.
You can finish with a bead on the aglet of our cord ( the aglet is the tip of each end, made of plastic or metal, whose purpose is to prevent the cord from fraying and to pass smoothly through the eyelets) and tie a knot so that it does not get lost.

Other ideas to combine it:

In this project, we turn your sneakers into a little gem. If you liked this idea, you can create designs for your friends with phrases that identify you as a group. You can also combine your sneakers with other accessories that you can also create simply by threading beads onto string or elastic. Create bracelets, eyeglass chains, or straps for cell phone cases.
