Shoe making!

Hiya!!

How are you lot? I'm not too well I've got hayfever and a cold so I've been in bed all day sleeping. But that hasn't stopped me making a post for you lovely people has it? Nope.

A couple of Saturday's ago I spend the day with one of my best friends, Becky. 

We went to this little shopping outlet and had lunch out at Costa which was soooo good! And then we went back to hers and made some shoes.

These are just some basic white pumps,you can also get them in black but white was better if you wanted to colour them etc. I think they were from Asda they range from about £6, just in case your looking to do something like this. 

I fell in love with this ribbon as soon as I saw it! I love the kind of picnic checked fabric, I got some dices because...I honestly don't know I just thought they were cute and small. Then picked up some Alice In The Wonderland charms!! 

In the packet there's the crown, the cat teacups and the little key. Also the rabbit and the clock. I got really excited because Alice is one of my favourite characters in Disney. One more thing! I got these charms from Hobby Craft, the dices we're £1.50 and the Alice In The Wonderland charms we're £3.00.

Also I got 3 or 4 metres of ribbons because your going to need ribbon for both shoes plus I got extra to give to Becky. When cutting the ribbon line it up to the lace that was already attached to the shoe so you know your getting the length right. I got the ribbon from hobby craft not sure how much it was but a good enough price for a couple of metres. 

I undid the lace of one of the shoes and I kept the other shoe close by so I could copy how the lace went through. I began to thread the checked ribbon through the little holes. I'd 100% advice you to get thin ribbon if your doing anything like I did because with thick ribbon I noticed how it did go through easily. If needs be you could just bring the shoes into the shop and test the ribbons on the shoes like I did.

As you can see, I threaded the checked ribbon and if I do say so my self it looks pretty good! I added the little rabbit and the key from Alice In The Wonderland onto the shoes as I finally decided I wanted Alice In The Wonderland shoes!!

Tried to draw the Mad Hatter...It failed.

Tried to draw the teacups...It failed.

Tried to draw the sandwiches...It failed.

Tried to draw the drinking bottle...It failed.

Tried to write the quote "It's always tea time"...It failed. 

I got a little bored after having tea and thought it would be awesome to colour the shoes in...Bare in mind this is the other plain shoe...I finished one side of it and thought "What the hell was I thinking..Its way too colourful!" 

So...At first it seemed like a great thing to do but I guess I don't really have an arty bone in my body! I'll just stick to thinking I am Alice for now.

Hope you enjoyed this crazy post! ❤️

Love yous xox
