Witchy Shoes

I had so much fun making these Witchy Shoes and they only cost about a dollar to make.  Wouldn’t they be fun hanging on a hook or a cabinet knob?

Here’s what you need to make a pair of your own:

  • muslin 
  • black acrylic paint
  • sponge brush
  • fiberfill
  • scraps of fabric
  • twine
  1. Here is my pattern.  Shoe.  Print it out and cut it out.  I like to transfer my patterns onto a manila file folder or light cardboard for easier transfer.

2.  Draw around the pattern onto muslin using pencil.  This is the sewing line.  

3.  Cut around the line adding a half inch seem allowance.  

4.  Sew around this line leaving an opening in the back of the shoe for turning and stuffing.

5.  Cut notches on the curves and turn right side out.

6.  Stuff tightly.

7.  Slip stitch opening closed.

8.  Brush black paint over the shoes.  Let dry.  It may take two coats of paint.

9.  Using black waxed twine threaded onto a needle add “laces” to the front.

10.  Using the same twine attach the shoes together at the back tip.

11.  Add patches and other touches to make them your own.

12.  Enjoy!

  1. What a fun and cute craft! I may have to try and make this. I am pinning this!

  2. These are absolutely adorable and I just might have to make them as a hat-pin cushion.

  3. A website is a critical factor for any business. Now that almost all consumers and potential clients are connected to the Internet, a website that effectively represents your company is essential.Over the past few years infographics have become increasingly important to a website design company and a good online marketing campaign. Simply put, they are one of the best ways to spread factual-based content virally.

  4. The exceptional point for a blog webpage site. I have been considering the Internet for fulfilling and besides found your web site. An impressive back rub. An abundance of thanks a ton for sharing your comprehension!
