How to make elf shoes.

Not really too hard to make.

I used an old pair of sandals so the bottom

sole would be waterproof and firm.

Then I cut out the shoe shape from green

vinyl fabric matching the width of the

shoe with the sandal.

I put the right sides of the vinyl together and stitched all 

around leaving the bottom open.

Then I turned the vinyl right side out.

I folded over the bottom of the vinyl about 1/4" and then

used a heavy carpet thread and a strong sewing

needle to hand stitch it to the shoe.

Then I hot glued upholstery gimp trim around

and on top of the stitching.

Then I stuffed the curvy toe of the shoe so 

it would stay upright.

I sewed a bell to each tip and hot glued fluffy fur

around the top.

  

Voila! Sturdy waterproof and durable

elf shoes that were comfortable to wear.
