It's ALL About the Shoes.

I am not going to lie, this weekend FLEW by!  WOW!  I cannot believe it is another new week already!!!

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!!!
