Step Four - Place the Wire for the Straps Through the Sole

Now poke all 4 wire ends up through the hole at the toe of the sole. Go up from the bottom of the shoe through to the top. Pull up on the wires until the button nestles nicely in the indentation in the bottom of the sole. You may want to add a bit of glue to the indentation at the hole before you place the wires. This will attach the button to the rubber and keep it from slipping.

Now thread enough pony beads on the 2 strands on the right to match the length of the right hand strap and enough on the 2 on the left to match the length of the left hand strap. Use the original strap as a size guide once again.
