Choose The Odd-Bits Kits Option...
Turn your kit into an Odd Bits Kit! This option is comprised of the same items as all other kits (based on chosen style), but instead the leather component comes as a carefully selected bundle of remnant leather rather than one larger piece. Just enter the code: ODD-BITS during checkout to participate and receive $50 off your order as a thank you!
* If you would rather the kit it in it's original form (one large piece of leather), do not use the above the code.
About this style:
The Ines Sandal was designed to be playful and feminine. The laces tie nicely around the ankle and are actually very flattering! This style is easy in preparation and in forming over the foot. The piece of leather at the front of the shoe requires manipulation and a little patience, but you will definitely get there!
** Please purchase the economy mini hole punch or spring handle hole punch to make The Ines Sandal.

Important exclusion:
The final step of sandal making is to smooth the edges of your soles. This can be done using a sanding belt or a metal file. You can either purchase both items from your local tool store, or you can take your formed sandals to a shoe repairer to do the final sanding/smoothing. This should be an inexpensive option.
