In summer I was again part of the historical market in Reinfeld. The market is always organized by Farmion e.V. . After selling some self-made stuff for the past 2 years, this year was the first where I also played with my band. And of course I needed a costume. I had always borrowed something from my sister but this year I decided I wanted my own outfit. I found a green elvish dress that I liked and I bought elvish ears. And then of course I needed shoes. I thought I had some fitting shoes but turned out I did not. I didn’t have much time left, so I decided to make some myself. It was really easy and fast. And yes, of course they do not look THAT wonderful, but they were totally perfect for this occasion.
Material:
- a pair of old shoes
- green felt
- needle
- scissors
- yarn
How to make the shoes:
- Cut the green felt into 2 pieces, each has to be big enough to cover one of the shoes.
- Use the needle and the yarn to sew the felt onto the shoe.
- Cut a hole so you can place your foot in the shoe. And also sew the felt around this hole onto the shoe.
- Do the same with the other shoe.
- Done!
Have fun 🙂
