I am so obsessed with these amazing pairs of shoes! They are so much fun to wear and were even more fun to make. If you want to learn the ins and outs of making these stunning fur slides, this tutorial is definitely for you! Follow my simple, step-by-step guide and get started on making your own incredible pair of slides.
Faux fur slides
Trace the shoe
To start this incredible DIY, I laid my slide on a piece of paper and traced around it.
Fit the pattern
I cut out the tracing and then made sure that it fit perfectly inside the shoe.
Trace the top
Next, I needed to trace the top of the shoe. I took an old T-shirt and stuck it over the top of the shoe using a putty adhesive. I then traced a dotted line marking where I would need to cut the fabric to get the perfect piece. I made sure to mark on the pattern pieces, which shoes they were for.
Trace onto the fabric
Cut the fabric
I then placed my two cut-out pieces on the back of my super-soft, fur fabric. I traced around the pieces.
Glue inside the shoe
Glue on the fur fabric
Once I had all of the fur fabric cut out for both shoes, I could finally glue the fur on. I placed some glue along the inside of the shoe and used chopsticks to help me push the fabric in.
Put glue on the top
With the furry sole of the shoe ready, I glued on the top piece of fur as well.
Cheap fur slides
To get the perfect finish for these stylish slides, I measured the heel of the shoe for both its length and width.
Cut the strip of fabric
I then measured the scrap fur fabric to get the perfect piece for the heel. Once I had cut it out, I glued it onto the heel. The fur slide was looking amazing and I repeated the same steps for the other shoe.
Try on the slides
Totally obsessed with these super fun fur slides!
Trace the top of the shoe
Make a pattern
For the second slide style, I once again marked a piece of scrap fabric while tracing the top of the shoe.
Draw a line at the fold
I then traced the pattern onto my gorgeous, soft fur fabric. I made sure to mark a line under the fold of the top because I would be making an amazing two-toned shoe.
Cut the black fabric
Cut out the fabric
For the top piece of the pattern, I cut beautiful black fur fabric to contrast the white.
DIY fur slides
Lastly, I had to cut the sole of the shoe from the same black fur fabric.
Draw the right measurements
I measured the heel of the shoe and then drew the pattern for it on a piece of paper according to the measurements I had taken.
Cut out the black strips
I then cut out the fur fabric to cover the heel of the shoes for the ultimate, professional finish.
Glue down the sole
Glue on the fabric
Finally, I could start gluing! I put glue on my slides and stuck the fur fabric on. I was so excited to try these bad boys on!
Wear your two-toned slides
I love how fun and fluffy these two-toned slides are!
Trace onto paper
Trace a pattern
For the third and final pair of slides, I started by tracing a sandal slide onto a piece of paper.
Get the right fit
Once I had made sure the first pattern piece fit inside the shoe, I moved on to tracing the top of the shoe and marking a scrap piece of fabric.
Measure around the shoe
Next, I measured around the shoe so that I would later cut the perfect piece of fabric to cover the area.
Cut out all the pieces
Cut the fur fabric
I traced all of my pattern pieces onto the fabric and then cut out the pieces I would need for my shoe.
Fur slides with feather
Stick on the fur and feathers
I attached the fur to the top of the shoe and then glued on some feathers to add some fun and color to the design. I glued on the rest of the fabric and was so excited to wear the slides!
