Despite the abundance of ready-made gifts, there is a huge number of master classes that help create amazingly beautiful products. We bring to your attention a master class "Candy shoe".

Many needlewomen are trying to make a variety of gifts for their friends and acquaintances, using not only ordinary, but also quite original materials. Why a slipper of sweets? Girls are not indifferent to shoes with high heels, so they will definitely like a gift that will not only be beautiful, but also delicious! If you complete the souvenir with beautiful flowers, you can count on a real sold-out. How to make a slipper of sweets with your own hands? Let's try to understand together in this issue.

Materials for work

To produce an unusual and very original souvenir, certain tools and materials will be required. Let's start in order. So, if our shoe is made of corrugated paper and candy, we'll have to stock up on floristic two-color paper. If the corrugated material you do not find in a free sale, you can take instead of it a usual beautiful fabric or colored cardboard. Also for work you need packing dense material, as well as thin cardboard. The original candy shoe with its own hands is made out with various beads, ribbons, rhinestones, flowers. To fix them, you need a thermo-gun, double-sided tape. Also in the work you need candy and a thin metal wire.

Algorithm of actions

How to create a slipper of sweets? The photo shows each stage of the work in detail. Let's try to state the whole sequence of actions from the first to the last stroke.

The first step: making an insole

First, the shoe will require a shoe insole. If it is not available, you can use your own stencil as a stencil, making a blank on the cardboard on it. We need to make two insole. In the absence of packing cardboard, you can make several identical workpieces from thin material at once, so that the candy shoe will eventually have a dense sole. In addition, you will need another insole, cut from a thin material. You use it to align the top layer of the created "shoe masterpiece". If you want, prepare a similar part for the lower part of the shoe.

The second step: the frame

We continue the conversation about how to make a shoe made of chocolates. A few strips of double-sided adhesive tape are glued on one blank of the insole. Remove the protective film, and along the entire perimeter of the insole we fix a thin wire. To obtain the most durable attachment of the wire, we also use an adhesive tape. Thanks to such a metal frame, you can give the product the desired bend.

Third step: form

We fasten hot glue to two thick insoles, we give the product the shape of a future shoe. If desired, you can use the glue "Titan" for work, fastening the parts for the drying time with clothespins.

The fourth step: gluing

Packaging paper, corrugated paper, designer cardboard, we select the remains of fabric according to your personal discretion. Cut out the selected material rectangle. Carefully glue them to the bottom of the sole. All the rest of the material (cardboard, paper) is cut off, leaving only a few centimeters for the allowances. To make the candy shoe look beautiful, we paste the lateral and inner parts of the molded sole in the same way. Similar actions are performed with a thin cardboard. We prepare the obtained blanks with each other using glue. If desired, you can additionally form a "heel".

The fifth step: decorating

In order for the workpiece to resemble real shoes, it is advisable to make a small platform for it. To do this, on a foam penis two centimeters thick, note the shape of the shoe, cut it out, carefully make the bevels from the sides, remove all irregularities and roughness with abrasive material.

For sanding, you can use the old nail file. If desired, to give the workpiece additional smoothness, you can paste it with a paint tape. Next, the platform is embroidered with corrugation, which we used to decorate the lower part of the sole. In the absence of a penoplex, a platform can be created from a packing cardboard folded in several layers.

To eliminate all ugly joints, the sole is decorated with a cord or an original braid. The tape is fastened to hot glue. First, you need to fix it on the heel, then you can gradually move around the sole. Work with glue is carried out neatly, with small drops, otherwise the aesthetics of the product will be disturbed. When choosing a braid, it is desirable to take into account the color of the whole composition created, so that a beautiful shoe of candy with your own hands turns out. The master class continues, and it's time to take up heels.

Heel manufacture

You can make it from dense foam. Some additional advice on carrying out such work is difficult to give. Height, width, heel length are selected according to your personal desire. Someone likes high thin hairpins, and someone wants to give his Cinderella a shoe with a comfortable little heel. The only thing that can be recommended, is first to measure how harmonious the selected heel on the shoe will look. Such "fitting" can be done several times, increasing or decreasing the height, the thickness of the polymer heel. Bring it to perfection, proceed to fixing it on the workpiece.

• To make the heel steady, you will need a metal skewer along its entire length. Part of it is inserted into the sole, ensuring the strength of the entire product. Bottom of the heel is pasted by a circle of corrugated paper. Then gently wrap the entire length of the heel with the material or cardboard used in the design of the sole of the shoe.
• We proceed to decoration with beads or a spectacular braid. At this stage, you can demonstrate all your creative abilities and ideas. For example, add "gold" heels, attach a beautiful wire to it, pick up and fix on the entire height of the unusual mother-of-pearl rhinestones. The created product had a shape, it began to resemble a real element of shoes. Now you can begin to create the main decoration of the created composition - pick up bouquets of chocolates.
• The color of the shoe must be in harmony with the labels of the sweets chosen for the decor. Enough three sweets, then they will be convenient to "get" out of the shoe. How to fix sweets on the product? This issue is quite easy to solve. First, create a few decorative stitches from a beautiful braid and glue it on the side of the shoe. In the received "pockets" we will put in sweets. To make the candy bouquet look spectacular, add it with decorative leaves, decorating it in the form of an unusual flower arrangement. If the candy falls out of the loop, you can cut out rectangles of fabric or thin designer paper. Covering the material with a sweet, you can make a sweet "bud", putting it in the shoe on the glue.
• If desired, the centers of such "flowers" are decorated with rhinestones, beads, original buttons, emphasizing the middle of the flower. The work associated with the supplement of the shoe with various materials depends on the taste preferences of the master. Even with identical initial components, the end result for different needlewomen is completely different. For example, you can not just wrap candy in fabric blanks, but create a lot of pieces of monophonic matter buds, and their center make candy.
• To do this, we cut out 20-30 equally long petals from the fabric, pull them together with a thread. Then we supplement with leaves of a different color (their number can be chosen at your own discretion). To increase the strength of the flower, its base is carefully coated with glue or curled with a thin wire. Next, we attach the workpiece from the side to the shoe, and inside the bud on the double-sided scotch we have a candy. You can make not three, but a much larger number of flowers, getting a real sweet bouquet. In order to achieve the desired result, you must have patience and free time. Beginners will need about 6 hours to create a gift for their Cinderella.
