Christmas ornament shoes!
Posted: Mon Jan 02, 2012 3:15 pm
I was checking out the after Christmas sale on a toy store near where I work and I found an amazingly perfect little athletic shoe ornament that was the perfect size for my 1/4 BBBs. Well, they're just a little long, but what isn't slightly big on BBBs. They had three but one had some kind of a smudge on the side so I bought the two that didn't, took the jump rings out of the backs where they were attached to the string to hang, and cut off the cleats because they where a little harder for my Sprite to stand in and I wanted sneakers, not necessarily soccer shoes.
They look good on him! Ignore the pants, they're one of the first things I ever sewed at that scale. I'm considering redoing the cuffs, I got impatient and glued it when I made them back in '08. >_>
With the cleats. You can hardly tell they're both the same foot until you look at them from the bottom...
I had to actually go out and buy a craft knife to do this, I'd thought about getting one many times but I knew I couldn't do this one without it. I wouldn't want to use my big boxcutter on these. I had a much harder time than I expected though finding a cutting mat, Michaels only had them in scrapbooking and aside from Martha Stewart they were all for a paper cutting machine.
Not that pretty, but much flatter.
Lots of little leftover plastic dots!
You'd never know they were ornaments. XD ...I have a red Christmas sweater that was an ornament, too...now if only I could find a pair of pants or a skirt, I could have a whole ornament outfit! XD ...just none of it would match.
