When you make shoe strings for a fondant shoe, how do you lace them without the strings stretching out of shape or breaking?

It's just a illusion icon_smile.gif

Just make it look like it is going in the hole icon_wink.gif take another little "string" to go to the other hole... then take another string looking like it is coming out another hole icon_wink.gif

For the baby converse shoes I made I did the same...an illusion.

I made the holes, then I made the "shoelaces". I cut them and then tucked the ends in the lace holes. The crisscrosses underneath were the same...cut and placed. The bows were made and then glued on top.

I don't think there's any way to really lace and tie fondant!

I actually did it but after several tries. I added a little tylose to the fondant to make it 'stretchy' like gumpaste and that made it possible to do. Thanks for asking this question because if I had known that it was an illusion I would saved myself a whole heap of trouble!!

Thanks for the replies. I will give the "illusion" a try and see how it works.
