nayarx8 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Ok, I did NOT invent these; been around for over 30 years or so based on my research. I thought the concept was pretty cool; foot jewelry to wear at the beach or by a pool. I also thought it would be cute to match to lingerie for the bedroom, ya know?!! lol This one is a fancier one ( Im currently working on a more casual blue pair) designed to be worn by itself on the right foot only. I put the clasp so it will fasten on the inside of the ankle to hid it a bit. Made from Amethyst Swarovski crystals, and the flower had a Swarovski crystal in the middle also. Wraps around the ankle two complete times; should fit any adult female. So, what do you guys think? Have I completely lost my mind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dashmo37 Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 They were selling something like that on one of the TV shopping shows. I thought they were very cool. They made them out of some sort of a stretchy cord but the gals foot was so big too much of the cord showed:confused:. Your looks much better than theirs!

nayarx8 Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 Thank you! I thought about using the stretch cord, but I really hate to work with it. So, I used nylon thread here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasBrat Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 I think yours are very elegant, they would be so pretty on a bride getting married on the beach. I made those a few years ago using the stretchy cord. I only made two pairs but I bought so many beads to make more and never did. I think you will like the stretchy cord if you make some with it.

nantes Posted June 6, 2007 Share Posted June 6, 2007 Those sure do bring back memories for me! My mom used to make what she called "barefoot sandals" back in the 70's. I was actually allowed to wear them to church in the summer because I did have sandals on!! The ones she made were with the stretch cord but I think yours looks great! Wonder if I can pull the same thing now in order to wear them to work??!!??Nantes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luvcandletarts2 Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I think they are very classy looking. I especially like the first pair. I have a pair of the stretchy ones from about 8 years ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diamondgirl Posted June 11, 2007 Share Posted June 11, 2007 THose are pretty cool. It would be awesome if you knew someone who owns a spa or works at one who could sell them to people who just had pedicures done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
