Felt is a type of wool felt fabric. It is a soft and pleasant to the touch material. It is strong and dense. Easy to use, as the edges do not crumble.

The procedure for making felt slippers with your own hands is simple and will not take you much time.

You will need:

• felt;
• threads;
• needle;
• glue;
• artificial leather or cork for the sole (you can do without this material).

Let's get to work:

1. Circle your foot on a piece of paper - the sole pattern is ready. Draw a rounded top for the slippers.
2. Cut out all the details.Turn the sole pattern over and you will have a piece for the right or left foot.
3. You should have 2 soles (left and right) and 2 identical tops.
4. Sew the top of the slippers to the felt sole. You can do it manually - in this case, the slippers will look original. Or sew the details on a typewriter.
5. To make the slippers last longer, glue on a faux leather sole, cork, or another layer of felt.

You can decorate felt slippers for every taste: ribbons, beads, buttons. Decorations can be glued onto finished slippers. You can sew flowers, leaves of felt of a different color.

See below for details.

That's all! You spent about 30 minutes to make one pair.

You can sew felt slippers with an open toe or elf slippers (with a long toe slightly twisted up). There are many options, be guided by your imagination.
