Today I am going to share a cute little project with you that I made a while back. I am a shoe LOVER. I can't seem to get enough shoes. My hubby asks me why it is that I need so many. . .I am not sure I have an answer (or at least an answer that will make sense to him! Haha!). I just love shoes! I have always loved shoes!!! They are one of my all time favorite things to buy.
Perhaps that is why I LOVED this idea so much! These "shoes" make the cutest party favors for baby showers, birthday parties, or just a cute little decor item for your house. They are super fun and WAY easy to make too!
I was given one of these shoes at a party I went to, so I brought it home and gently pulled it apart so that I could make a pattern. I traced the pattern onto a piece of chipboard and cut it out.
Once they are folded, you get something that looks like this:
Aren't they DARLING???????? I just LOVE them! They look super cute when they are stuffed with some "goodies" as a party favor.
I had a request to make 200 of these shoes for an Expo that I was helping with a while back. It took FOREVER to make all of them, but oh my goodness the ladies who got them LOVED them!!!
I am going to link up to a few of these SUPER FUN Linky Parties HERE this week.
I am also going to link up to a few of these SUPER FUN Blog Hops HERE this week.
Don't forget to come by on Wednesday and join in on the Wandering Wednesday Blog Hop I cohost.
Also pop by on Thursday and join in on my Thrilling Thursday Linky Party. You will be glad you did!!!
