My daugther has gone Shopkins crazy this year, so she was really excited when Oriental Trading Company offered to send us a Strawberry Kiss Costume to try. Of course we had to get to work making some accessories to go with it. The hat/headband came with it, but we added the Trick-or-Treating Bag and the shoes. Fairfield’s Oly-Fun™ can make great accessories to complete many of their Halloween costumes.

Strawberry Shoes Embellished with Oly-Fun

Categories: Kid Friendly, Costume, Fashion Accessories, Accessory, Oly*Fun

Oly*Fun is the perfect material for adding embellishments to shoes. I won’t rip, fray or tear, and won’t get ruined or bleed if it gets wet.

Sparkly red shoes are a perennial favorite of little girls and we’ve seen them at most major chain stores. You won’t have trouble tracking some down.

What you need to make this project

Materials: A few scraps of Oly-Fun™ in Clover; Red Sparkle Shoes in desired size; Low-Temp Glue Sticks

Supplies: Low or Multi-Temp Glue Gun

Quick Shop

Instructions

Step One

Cut two half circles of Oly-Fun™ slightly larger in diameter than the opening of your shoe. Then cut into rounded points. Check fit before gluing and re-cut if necessary.

Apply just a bit of hot glue to the underside of the shoe opening and attach your oly-fun. Be sure to have your glue gun set to the LOW TEMP setting so you don’t melt your oly-fun™. You’ll also want to press the oly-fun™ into the glue well, so you don’t end up making a bump with your glue making the shoes uncomfortable to wear.
