How to Make Sandals for Your Cutie
Making baby sandals is a heartfelt way to celebrate those tiny, precious feet. I crafted a pair for my best friend’s baby shower, and they became a cherished keepsake. The best part? You likely have the supplies already.
You’ll Need:
Sole Template: Trace your little one’s foot onto sturdy cardboard or craft foam.
Straps: Use soft elastic, wide ribbon, or even old leather gloves for buttery-soft straps.
Embellishments: Felt flowers, cute buttons (ensure they are VERY secure), or fabric paint.
The Simple Process:
Cut two sole shapes from your material. If using cardboard, you might want to glue two layers together for sturdiness.
Plan the Straps: A simple T-strap is easiest. You’ll need one strap across the ankle and one from the front of the foot meeting the ankle strap.
Assemble: Punch small holes on the sides of the sole where the straps will go. Thread the straps through, adjusting for a snug but comfortable fit, and secure them with strong glue or by stitching them in place on the underside.
Decorate! This is where you get creative. Glue on a small felt flower where the straps meet.
Safety First: Always supervise your cutie while they’re wearing homemade shoes and avoid any small parts that could become a choking hazard. These are best for photo ops or gentle play.
