If The Shoe Fits........Make one in every color!

You wont believe how easy it is to make this fabulous shoe! All you need : heavy cardstock, glue, a lighter paper for lining, scissors, ribbon and bling of your choice, and a little imagination!

First, download the two templates for the shoe.  If you have the right kind of printer, you can print them right onto the paper.  Otherwise, trace the template onto the papers and cut them out.  I used this glitter cardstock that you can get from Target (2 for .99).  For the inside I used a silver adhesive paper. Cut the outside shoe first. Adhere the inside to the outside with craft glue or adhesive strip. Next, follow the dotted lines on the template to fold up.  Do your final gluing with a heavy craft glue that dries quickly.  I love Fabri-tac, which is like a hot glue in a bottle.  Hot glue will work as well. 

Use your imagination to decorate your shoe.  Add some wrapped chocolates on the inside for a sweet gift. I used this one on top of a bridal shower gift with a big bow!  Have fun!
