Beat the Heat: Make Simple Summer Shoes

When the temperature reaches the triple digits, it's a good idea to slip on a pair of shoes before heading outside to prevent your feet from burning up. Here's a quick and easy tutorial for a pair of shoes that will keep doll feet looking cool and chic on even the hottest days.


Measure your doll's feet on a piece of paper, and draw the general outline of the shoe. 

                            

Draw in the details of the shoe. I made simple bow flats, but you can get really creative here with all sorts of patterns and details. A photography tip: if you can't get the camera to focus, add a doll to the photo. The camera will recognize a face, and then auto-focus to the proper degree. 

                             

Color them in, cut them out, and tape them to the doll's feet. You may need to trim them a little to get the exact fit. 

What items would you like a tutorial for?

    Hi Maybe you should do a tutorial for pets. or computers. or umbrellas. or a swimming pool. or a sprinkler. or books. I also think you should give Quinn a RC (remote control, could be any size you want) dirigible.
