D.I.Y Ankara Sandals

I went shopping the other day and I saw these cute Jelly Sandals at River Island for only a mere £12.99 I thought woozers this is a steal. But as I examined the shoe I thought to myself I can make these and have an original pair that no one else will have. So I went to Primark and bought a pair of jelly's for £3 to make a DIY Z+F pair of ankara flats. 

The River Island Version
The Z+F Version



I will probably be making about 2 more pairs with different materials in the near future. These are available during the spring/summer: (here)
