How to make a felt shoe at home – Step By Step (Tutorial)

Making simple, soft-soled shoes from felt is a delightful project, especially for babies or as cozy house slippers. Felt is forgiving, doesn’t fray, and comes in every color imaginable.

The Basic Slipper:

Trace Your Foot: Place your foot on a piece of paper and draw around it, adding about ½ inch for seam allowance. This is your sole pattern.

Cut the Felt: Cut 4 sole pieces from thick felt. Cut two upper pieces in a simple U-shape that will cover the top of your foot.

Sew Together: With right sides together, sew the upper to the sole. Repeat for the lining. Slip the lining into the outer shell and slipstitch the opening closed.

Embellish: Glue on a felt flower or pom-pom for a cute finish.

They make heartfelt, personalized gifts that are truly one-of-a-kind.
