1. Mark your spot

The first thing you need to do is mark where you need a new hole on the ankle strap, so that your strap once again fits snugly around your ankle. 


Use the existing buckle to mark that spot, by pressing it into the strap where you want the new hole to be.

2. Make the new strap hole

Grab a safety pin, open it up, and push the sharp point through your strap where you marked the hole.

Remove the safety pin, and grab a bobby pin.


Separate the two sides of the bobby pin, and insert one end through the hole in your strap. 


Wiggle and rotate the bobby pin a bit, to make the hole larger.
