Doll Shoe Week: Summer Boots

Stylish summer boots for your doll. This step-by-step photo tutorial from a Russian website creates these shoes with denim (or other fabric), yarn, cardboard, scissors, dress hooks, thread, satin ribbon, glue and rhinestones. Author says: "I think that nobody needs to explain what shoes mean to women."  ;-)

Creating a shoe like this would probably be best for larger dolls but could be adapted to mini dolls.  The photo below shows an adaptation for a BJD doll that adds high heels and a platform sole.

Because there's a large percentage of air-dry clay fans who like to create dolls...human figures and fantasy figures....we're having a "Shoe Week". There's many ways you can model a figure but one thing they all have in common is the need for shoes! You can always sculpt any kind of shoe with your favorite clay, but sometimes we like to have a fabric or leather shoe! All tutorials featured this week will be devoted to crafting shoes for dolls of all sizes and shapes, removable and non-removable.   Find more shoe tutorials by clicking on "dolls-shoe" in the Keyword Labels.
