DIY: Customize sneakers with charms

How to customize sneakers?

Accessories make all the difference to an outfit, and custom laces with charms and beads are the latest trend to add style to your sneakers! Whether you're a fan of minimalism or accumulation, this DIY technique lets you personalize your shoes to suit your mood and the seasons.

In this tutorial, we propose two versions of material to customize your sneakers:

  • A soft, elegant spring version, with a stainless steel and epoxy resin daisy charm, a lemon slice charm, a small flower, and a freshwater bead for a refined touch. A subtle mix that brings freshness and femininity to your sneakers.
  • A bolder, more colorful summer version, with a cute crab in stainless steel, a yellow pepper, a little turtle, a lucky number charm and a freshwater bead for a harmonious contrast between elegance and fun. A perfect combo to brighten up your sneakers all summer long!

The big advantage of this shoe customization? It's 100% customizable! Thanks to our wide choice of stainless steel and bead charms, you can tailor your creation to suit your style and desires: gold or silver, minimalist or busy, bohemian or rock... it's all possible!

And what's more, it's ultra-easy to make! In just a few minutes, you'll learn how to mount your beads and charms on rings and attach them to your laces for a unique, trendy result. Practical tip: to change your charms easily, remember to attach them to a Lobster Clasp. You'll be able to interchange them in no time at all and adapt your style to your whims!

And to help you choose the right combination of charms, take a look at our charms jewelry tutorials.

Tutorial steps

Step 1

To begin, choose the charms you'd like to add to your laces. Then take your rings and add them to each charm. If you're a beginner, take a look at our technical sheet: How to open a ring to make a piece of jewelry.

Step 2

For a little variety, we've replaced some of the rings with small creoles. Simply open the creole, insert the charm and close the creole again.

Step 3

For ease of use, we recommend removing your laces and threading the rings with the charms as you make them.
