    • Start the threaded needle on the upper side of the sandal.

    • The ornament will hide the knot.

    • If pushing the needle through the sandal strap is difficult, you might try turning the sandal at an angle and using your flat surface as a pressing point.

    • Pull the thread so that the ornament is tight against the sandal.

    • Remember to beware of that sharp needle!

    • Run the needle back through the sandal strap, then tie a knot at the base of the thread.

    • Double the knot before using your scissors to cut the thread.

    • Cut the thread just above the knot.

    • Be careful—scissors are sharp.
