How to Make Woven Leather Slider Sandals | DIY Shoemaking Tutorial (No Lasts Needed)

Learn how to make your own woven leather slider sandals in this step-by-step DIY shoemaking tutorial. In this video, I'll show you exactly how to create the woven leather upper using my standard slider sandal pattern as the template. The secret to achieving a beautiful woven finish is all in the hole punching technique. The placement and spacing of the holes determine how the leather strips weave through the upper, creating that professional handmade look. I'll walk you through the process so you can confidently recreate it yourself. Once the woven upper is complete, the rest of the sandal construction follows the same method as my original slider sandal design, making this a fantastic project for both beginner and experienced makers. The best part? You don't need traditional shoemaking lasts. I recommend lasting your slider sandals directly over your own foot to achieve a comfortable, customised fit. ✨ Ready to make your own pair? • Join my Online Shoemaking Course for full tutorials and support: https://www.icanmakeshoes.com/products/online-footwear-masterclass-course • Grab the Slider Sandal Pattern + eBook if you'd like to dive straight into the project: https://www.icanmakeshoes.com/collections/patterns/products/shoe-pattern-sandal-slider-mule Whether you're interested in DIY fashion, leatherworking, handmade footwear, or learning shoemaking from home, this woven sandal project is a fun and rewarding way to build your skills. #DIYShoemaking #LeatherSandals #Leath
