DIY: Chain Curtain Heels



What you’ll need:
Victim Shoes (Preferably with thin high heels)
Chain-heavy Jewellery pieces to take apart (fringed necklace if possible)
8 Studs with prongs (any size)
Scalpel or hobby knife
Jewellery Pliers
8 Jumprings (~1/32inch diameter)





Mark the width of the stud onto the shoes and make small slits with a sharp scalpel (or hobby knife) for the prongs to go through.
Hang 2 jumprings on each of the prongs of the stud, insert stud into the slits. Bend the prongs inward to close using a butter knife or a metal ruler.
Add another stud, but this time hanging only one jumpring on the right arm, towards the back of the shoes. Position the stud at the top of the heel arch. Repeat for other side.
Take apart the piece of jewellery with the most chains available – best if the necklace is a chain fringe. If not, pick out a thicker chain for a main hanger, and hang thinner chains so it looks like a fringe. Measure onto shoes, cut and hang onto the jumprings.
Using your jewellery prongs, (usually equipped with cutter) cut the fringes just short of the ground
Optional: Add extra details with leftover chain; Add heavier weight chains on every other slot if wanted.
