I love seeing the different ways to lace shoes, even though now I'm too practical to do some of the ones I did in high school. I never used to tie my shoes with the bow on the outside, it was always tucked in. Thanks for reminding me of good times 🙂

Wow! I never thought of shoelaces as any thing other than what they are. I may have to try a couple of these.

You have so many good ideas. Quite frankly, ti's been a long time since I've done anything creative as far as lacing up my shoes is concerned , lol
However, I will certainly be looking at shoelaces in a new way now, whenever I need something done around the house. I like the way that the earrings are displayed like that- prevents them form getting tangled too.
I may put my necklaces out like that. I have lots of fun ones but all the little parts keep getting tangled.
