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?
Put those cute barefoot flower sandals on your favorite little princess! I love that these sandals are soft on baby’s feet. Plus, you can show off her cute painted piggy toes, right?!
So who are you going to make these for? What colors? I’d love to hear!
