Adorable Barefoot Sandals

April 15, 2013 By: Melanie

We were over at The Ribbon Retreat last week and shared these adorable barefoot sandals!    These are so easy and inexpensive-and seriously cute : )   We’ve got a quick video tutorial and a step by step photo tutorial!!

Here’s what you need:
 T-shirt (old or new)
felt circles (1 3/4 inch size)
flowers of your choice
sewing machine
glue gun
 We’ll start with the T-shirt.  First, cut off the hem along the bottom of the shirt and discard;  then cutting through both layers, cut a strip about 1 inch wide.
It will be a circle since we cut through the entire shirt, so cut it at the seam 
to get one long strip.  Now stretch the strip and the T-shirt will curl itself.

Cut the strip into about 5 or 6 inch lengths, depending on the age and size of the childs foot.  The fabric is very stretchy, so a little tight is better than too loose.   (Mine are for my  2 1/2 year old.)  
Cut 3 strips per sandal, so 6 strips for one pair.

Once the strips are cut,  you’re ready to sew!
Sew one end of the strips onto to a felt circle.  I found it easiest to add them one at a time as I went.  I am not much of a seamstress, but these are very simple to sew, no kidding. 🙂

Then loop the strips over and sew the other ends onto the opposite side of the felt.
It should look like this!

Remember how I mentioned I am not a seamstress?  Proof right here, but it doesn’t even matter because those crooked stitches won’t show : )

Hot glue the flower of your choice to the felt circle. (I chose the crochet flowers in turquoise.)
They are ready to adorn a cute little foot!
  
   How to put them on:
   Slip the whole thing over the foot with the flower on top,
   then pull one strap up behind the ankle.  Cute!

Wouldn’t these be perfect for a Spring photo shoot?!
