I saw a pair of sandals that got me right into DIY mode.
I knew I had a pair of creamy sandals (bought ages ago) that were right for the job.

All I needed were two rosary necklaces
(and the will power to argue with the streets vendors in Canal St.).
a pair of strappy sandals
two rosaries
strong upholstery thread - needle - pliers
total time required: 30 minutes
haggling with the street vendor: 40 minutes
--> HOW TO:
* buy a rosary that will be slightly longer than the circumference than your sandals
* remove the clasps with pliers
* start sewing few small stitches where you want the cross to hang down
* go all the way around - because there is an elasticized side, i left the stitches very loose on that side and the chain too
* stitch all the way around until the two sides connect
Dear Alexander McQueen, may you R.I.P.
