Decided to make this shoe with some spare paste I had left over from making hearts for a cupcake wedding cake for next weekend.
I was inspired by Kylie (sweet_as_tisse) to make a tiny shoe, and by Camille (lilthorner) to make something open toe with straps : )
thanks gals
Also thanks to Tash (tashjeffery) for the gorgeous butterfly mold.
cheers

Nati, this is just beautiful!

i love the straps and butterfly and that green is just the prettiest color.....

you really dont know how tiny these shoe's are until you make one. Do you?

i think we may just have to start a mini shoe trend.....lol.

i just uploaded a teeny weeny baby bootie which worked out to be 2 inches long....

cheers

Thanks for doing that, I've really got a great idea of just how delicate it is now icon_smile.gif

Rhonda
Thanks icon_biggrin.gif
I actually didnt use a template for this one, i dont use templates for my shoes because i've never made more than one, so there was no need to keep them consistent. I made a template for the pink shoe to help with the tutorial, but it was cut freehand first and then the piece put on paper and drawn on, hehehe, back to front actually ; )
I would probably use a template if i was making two shoes so that they'd be the same size and shape ; )

But I find it quicker to do the shoes freehand than to cut the paper etc.
BUT that being said there is no reason why the template reduced in size wouldnt work, only the support couldnt be used because the heel on this one is a lot higher than the support allows. Because the shoe is so small i just used a small ball of saran wrap to hold up the sole while i was putting up the front. It actually dried very quickly being so small.

Thanks to everyone else for the kind comments.

Thanks
My husband has told me off several times for messing with my business website, i just couldnt leave it alone and kept changing it and changing it. Now i have this instructions website to mess with, I can leave the business one alone so that customers dont think i've got "cantleavemywebsitealoneitis"

HI there
There is a template for "a" shoe attached to the tutorial on the front page, i think it's about third or fourth from the top in the Articles section.
Following that template you "should" be able to make this one, but i didnt use the template, i just made this shoe freehand.
cheers
Nati
