For the kids on my husband's side of the family I decided to make slippers. I found this really cute pattern on Etsy, TwoGirlsPatterns . I made one pair bunny like the pattern and then made some of my own animals.
This is the first pair I talked about. I went with brown bunnies because you always see white ones and i think brown bunnies are very pretty. I also decided to do only one bow on each slipper, I liked them better that way.
There is a little boy on that side of the family and I wasn't sure what kind to make for him so I came up with these silly looking characters. I just made some eyeballs, little arms, and added teeth. I should have made the teeth a little smaller but they still look ok.
I found out the one little girl liked cheetahs so I altered the pattern to cheetah slippers.
The last little girl loves her little dog, he's some kind of terrier. He's white so I made the slippers to match.
This last picture is to show what I did to the bottom of the slippers, I added something similar to all of them. I used puffy paint on the bottoms to help make them a little less slippery. For the animals I did little paws and dots. For the characters I did zigzag lines. For all of them I put the size one them. I figured it's always hard to tell the size of stuff for kids so that should make it a little easier.
Gracie loves her puppy slippers.
