For durability, sew the metal chain to the strap using strong sewing thread rather than yarn. Secure firmly with multiple passes.
✨ Final Shaping
• Round the toe gently with your fingers
• Press the sole flat on a surface
• Ensure ridge remains clearly defined
• Keep perforation holes open
• Curve strap upward naturally
The finished clog should appear compact, structured, evenly proportioned, and lightweight — with crisp edges and clean ventilation placement.
