What to do when the strap breaks on your sexy stiletto shoes that cost more than your monthly mortgage? Whether you are already out on the town or resurrecting a pair you loved but no longer have the strap available, there is hope.

First, stop by a craft store and buy ribbon in a color to compliment or match your heels. It should be satin finish ribbon, about 1/2" to 1" wide. Be sure to cut each end of the ribbon on a slant to prevent fraying, or gently brush each end with clear nail polish.

Bring the ribbon underneath the shoe (the stiletto will keep it from falling off) then bring it up across the top of your foot, then criss cross wrap it a couple of times before tying in a bow on the outside ankle or calf on each leg.
