2. Once you have one side done, you can trace it onto the leather but make sure it’s mirrored so that you have a right and left side.

3. Test it and make sure they cover the tops of the sandals. Cut off excess leather if needed.

4. Using a hot glue gun, glue the ends of the strip. Try not to glue the top to avoid lumps unless you can do it smoothly.
