This is a quick post to give you the link to a blog about making doll shoes.
http://fashiondollshoes.blogspot.com/. I used to make doll shoes when I had my porcelain doll business, but it has been awhile. I found this just in time, as I am about to make shoes for Danielle and my LIV bodies. Thought some of you might be interested in giving it a try.

Hi Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteThe instructions for making fashion doll shoes are very helpful. I have made various styles of sandals out of sticky back foam but I hadn't tried any shoes with heels. Today my Industrial Design students told me about laser cutters. I need to get my hands on one of these because the worst part about making doll shoes is cutting out the soles. No matter how careful I am I can never get them exactly even. A laser cutter could cut out dozens of perfect pairs at a time!
@Paulette. Thanks for the tip about the laser cutter. I'll have to research them. I have several books on shoemaking. One is very thorough and it talks about making "shoe lasts". Which I think is what they call the heels. I was planning on just making molds of some of the heels I already have. Then I thought I would just make them from polymer clay and then make a mold. The mold making solution from Hobby Lobby is relatively cheap. Don't know when I will get to this project. Hopefully soon!
