Make Your Own Shoes!
The project is from Realsimple.com
You can decorate these shoes however you like: create ballet shoes, robot shoes, baseball shoes — the possibilities are endless. They're great for clomping around during a silly dance party or a goofy relay race. You can also practice your shoe-tying skills.
What You'll Need
How to Make Cardboard Shoes
- 1. Cut a semicircular hole from one end of the top (narrow side) of each lid. It should be just large enough for a child to slide in her foot.
- 2. Decorate each box and its lid with tape or paper. Using a utility knife, make small holes, then thread the laces. Note: You can use hole reinforcement stickers around the holes to make it easier to thread the laces.
- 3. Line the side rim of each lid with glue and return it to its box. Secure with tape as needed.
