Find the center on both pieces of fabric and mark them it by notching the edges on two sides. These notches would help you properly place the fabric and center it on the shoes. Use a shoe last to place it inside the shoe. This will make the task easier for you. If you do not have one, you may stuff the shoe with some newspapers or paper to make it hold its shape and not to bend in. Make some sort of handle for you to hold the shoe, when you apply the glue on it. Now, you need to use glue which takes time to dry up. Do not use the instant one. It would not let you make any adjustments of the fabric on the shoe. Apply the glue on both shoes with a pretty thick layer. You may use a small brush to do so. Spread it out evenly. Let it soak a bit. Do not apply the glue on the shoe bottom. Take out the shoe last and start adjusting the fabric. You have a rectangular piece of it. Place the center notches on the shoe back and front parts. Smooth the fabric down to make it slightly stick. Now cut open the middle part, where the leg is inserted. Make a straight cut at first and smoothen down the fabric on the top edge of the shoe. Cut out excessive fabric in the middle leaving over-measure to wrap it around the edge. Now pull the fabric a bit and glue it on the sides of the shoe. Wrap the lower end over the bottom edge. All the fabric wrinkles should be on the sole, and not on the sides of the shoe. In the front part just wrap the fabric tightly around the toecap and make it go under. Move to the heel and wrap the Ankara around the entire heel, if it is a spike. For wider heels you should wrap only the back part and the under part wrap with a measured and cut separate slice of fabric. You are done with the wrapping right now.
