1. Take two different colour laces, each a tiny bit longer than the correct length for the shoes.
2. Cut them not quite in half, but offset by two or three centimetres. See below for how to calculate the difference in length between the two halves.
3. Tie one shorter piece of one colour (orange in my example) and one longer piece of the other colour (red in my example) firmly together and trim off the excess. For extra security, add a dab of glue. Use the remaining pieces to make the bi-colour lace for the other shoe.
4. Pull the longer (red) end out through the bottom right eyelet, feeding from inside the shoe, until you reach the joining knot 5. Now lace the rest of the shoe as per Straight (Fashion) Lacing.
