DIY: How to Make a Lovely Pair of Home Slippers

Hi all, hope you enjoy all my writings..
Here, sharing time again...This time I want to show you how to make a lovely pair of home slippers for your loved ones!

Here you are:
I made these for my girls! One kitty face and another one Bunny face...And they wear it almost everyday :)

What you would need: A pair of slippers (you can buy it, but I will suggest that you use whatever that you have at home! A pair of hotel slippers will do! 3R: Reduce, Reuse & Recycle), fabric pen, scissors, paper, craft felt, felt glue, wiggly eyes, thread & needle. And of course you need some time..remember, everyone needs a hobby :)
  1. Firstly, get ready your slippers. Make sure the surface is clean.
  2. Now, drawing time. Explore your creativity here, maybe draw your child's favourite animal or cartoon character, but just the head!
  3. When you are satisfied with the picture. Carry on to the next step...Trace a copy of it on another paper. (Sorry not shown in the picture). Then, cut it out, piece by piece. All the parts.
  4. Now trace all the pieces onto the felt. Choose your colours.
  5. Then, cut them out, piece by piece.
  6. You may arrange all the parts now.
  7. When you are satisfied with the cut-outs, start to glue it down.
  8. Now, use a fabric pen to draw the outlines of certain parts that need to be sewn later on.
  9. Sew it using a suitable thread & matching colours.
  10.  Lastly, glue the finished animal head onto the slippers. Done!
Thanks for viewing...you can give it a try. I hope to create more 3R DIY projects in the future...
