The attached photos show how printed fabric laces can transform a simple pair of white sneakers. A bright print instantly adds character, while a coordinated pair of laces can tie together an outfit, handmade bag, school-color look, or themed event. Because this project uses smaller fabric pieces, it is ideal for treasured scraps left from quilts, bags, apparel, or craft projects. Instead of letting those favorite leftovers sit in a bin, turn them into laces that can be worn and enjoyed.

The included blue aglets add a bright finishing detail to the ends of the shoelaces. Blue works beautifully with cool-toned fabrics, ocean-inspired prints, florals, batiks, rainbow prints, denim-friendly designs, novelty fabrics, and prints that include teal, navy, turquoise, sky blue, or cobalt accents. They can create a subtle coordinated look or become a little pop of color at the end of each lace. The aglets help make the finished project look complete and ready to lace into shoes.

This project is approachable for beginners because it is small and focused, but it is also useful for experienced sewists who want a fast, satisfying make. Sew a pair for yourself, make matching laces for friends, create party favors, coordinate shoes for a group, or stitch a few pairs as stocking stuffers and birthday gifts. Custom shoelaces are also a fun way to bring fabric into everyday style without committing to a full garment or accessory.

Pair this pattern with colorful fabric to create laces that feel playful, polished, modern, or whimsical. For more small projects and accessory ideas, browse our sewing patterns selection.
