I found these white leather lace up Keds in Lydia's size for $3 and decided that they would make excellent saddle shoes. I used a Sharpie marker, similar to how I made Lydia's zebra shoes over the summer.
I found a picture online to help get the shape right, but mostly I just followed the stitching.
I used a white paint pen to add some dot details on the edges like I saw on several of the saddle shoe examples.
I literally spent TEN MINUTES per shoe. When I finished with one show, I lined it up next to the other shoe and used it to plan a matching design.
I am SO happy with the results!
I had big plans to make a poodle skirt to go with these, but when I got home I remembered a pink and black crinoline tutu skirt that looks perfectly fifties.
With the time that I saved NOT making a skirt, I was able to use the Sharpie to make a little something for myself. More on that project soon!
