How To Make Barefoot Sandals

I knew having a baby girl would be fun to craft for, but I had no idea it would be THIS MUCH FUN!! Seriously, I’m kind of going nuts over here! Desi is 8 weeks old already has oodles of headbands and tons of adorable flower barefoot sandals. After I posted this picture on Instagram, I’ve had several requests for a tutorial on How to Make Barefoot Sandals. I promise, they are super easy and turn out so stinkin’ cute! Plus they make great baby shower gifts too!
Supplies: 

  • 5/8″ fold over elastic
  • 2.5″ Chiffon Flowers {2/pair}
  • felt
  • hot glue gun
  • scissors

Size Guide for Elastic*

  • Newborn 2.5″
  • 0-3 Months 3″
  • 3-6 Months 3.5″
  • 6-12 Months 4″

*These are estimates only. All babies grow at different rates, so use your best judgement.*

Baby Barefoot Flower Sandals Tutorial

1. Trim off the excess tulle from each of the chiffon flowers.

2. Cut 4 pieces of elastic for each pair of barefoot sandals you are making. Use the Size Guide above as a reference.

3. Take one piece of elastic and hot glue it across the center of the back of one flower as shown.

4. Take a second piece of elastic and hot glue it so that it loops around on one side of the flower. See picture above.

5. Cut a rectangle of coordinating felt to 1.5″x2″ and hot glue over the ends of the elastics. Snip corners so the felt doesn’t show when worn.

6. Repeat Steps 3-5 for the second flower.

Those were a breeze, right?
