Spring into the season with a sweet pair of DIY wedge espadrilles.
You’ve always got the right shoe to pair with your outfit when you make them yourself. You choose the fabric, you choose the add-ons – it’s a win, win situation. Dritz® Espadrilles jute wedge soles are the key ingredient needed to make these sweet kicks. Read more and see how Laura from Trash To Couture whipped up this super pair of wedges just in time for Easter.
We really love the fabric that she chose, and the ankle ties that she added. That’s the thing with Dritz® Espadrilles – they truly are 100% custom. Nobody else will have a pair just like yours!
We have a ton of educational information about our Dritz® Espadrilles. If you’re interested in an overview of all of the resources that are available, they’re listed at the bottom of this post.
