Anchor the Side Straps

Anchor the Side Straps to the Soles of the Beaded Beach Shoes

Poke the two strands on the right down through the right hand hole. Thread one through a hole in a button then thread the other through the hole diagonal from the first hole. Then thread 2 crimp beads on one of the strands. Take the other strand and thread it though the two crimp beads going the opposite direction from the first strand. Lay the two crimp beads over the bottom prong of your pliers and pull the wires as tight as possible, then crush the crimp beads. Now thread the ends of the wires up through the button, the hole and a few of the beads above. Clip the ends. Now do the same with the 2 strands on the other side.
