Saw some lovely paper shoes on a website, so decided to have a go. It took 7 attempts, but they work at last!
Now you can have dozens of pairs for just pennies! The photo shows a pair that are less than 5cm (2 inches) tall. The possibilities for patterns and embellishments are endless. You can use up all those bits of peel offs lurking in your drawers.
They are best cut out of lightweight card or heavy paper. The red lines are scored and the black ones cut.
Maybe they could go in a matching bag as a novelty gift?
Here is the template for the bonnet. Took me back to my schooldays, working out circumferences etc.....
It makes up very easily. Fold the crown tabs and glue to the outside of the back. Glue the 2nd back piece on to cover the tabs. This also means if you are using a printed card, it will be the same inside and out.
Glue the brim tabs inside the crown, these will be covered by the scalloped lining. Again, if using printed card, cut the lining from it, then it will be the same as the outside.
Add the lining, encasing the ribbon as you do so.
If you want the lattice brim, just move the plain one off the page and select the relevant cutting lines.
Hi. Here is a little bag and box if it is any use to any one,it looks cute when made up. I am quite proud of it.I have been trying for 2 days to get it right. Many thanks to you clever ladies that post templates. I hope i am as good as you one day.......sue

Been working on this for a little while now But never got round to finishing, Its now finished and ready for that Special Little Girl.
I have cut Fairy Magic from perfumed Card and smothered with Glamour Dust she looks absolutley Beautiful I have to say. She has layered Wings too. Comes with a round box template too which I have cut from acetate so you can see her.
Well this felt like an age to design and get right no it was an age and sleepless nights But its ok now.
Cut from perfumed white card Yellow cap 25 thickness. Decorated with burgandy ribbon for the laces and lace for the top of the boot.
It is very fiddly to put together as its quite small 4/12 inches by 4 inches but once assembled its lovely.
The picture does not do the template Justice really as I should have done in another colour so it didn't clash with the white box, still it's done now.
Would also look lovely with the sides of the boot embossed with a cuttlebug folder...... I may just do that myself tonight
I would like to add just one more thing..... I realise my templates are a considered purchase as to price wise But you have to remember you have the template for life and can cut as many times as you want too. And some do take a long time to design and get right for selling to you lovely people.
I have been awake for 3 nights thinking about this blooming template and How I would get it to stand and look right...... well here is it all ready now.
The sleepless nights were worth it, It looks so lovely when made up, Obvioulsy you put your own decoration to it .
As a newbie in silhouette i have used 2 templates from this forum, so now i want to give you 1 of my own designs.....but, but, but.....i have draw it by my hands and then scanned in the pc, but if anyone can use it and maybe converted it to GSD it will be so nice
It´s a high heel shoe....and the instrctions are in danish langue....but ask, then i will explaine what the words means. (so much i can...my english is not so good)
-I HAVE BEEN CONTACTED ON MAIL OF THIS IS MY DESIGN, BECAUSE SOMEONE HAVE IT FOR SALE....SO JUST TO BE STRAIGHT, YES IT IS MY OWN DESIGN I MADE I 5 YEARS AGO FOR A DANISH HOBBYFIRM (IN FRONT OF 12 PEOPLE!!)

A little bit of fantasy for everyone here, Cut from perfumed card and decorated with Heart pearl gems, organza Ribbon, Liquid pearls, and mulberry roses. I have smothered the Unicorn in glamour dust too But the picture Doesn't show it's sparkle. And not forgetting the Swiss Dots embossing folder too.
This is for the special little ones that still Believe.
Box template included.
I called her this as it was the first thing that came to mind when I had finished making her. Ballerina on a stand which has with love on the back ,comes with box template too.
Cut from perfumed card various colours, decorated with ribbon, liquid pearls, mulberry roses and gem heat shapes.
A must for any little girl............... You can find her here And as always for looking
This is my offering - haven't had the time to tart it up with the usual beads and flowers, but you get the idea! Actually looking at it it could be a napkin ring but it is supposed to be a garter (for a very small leg)!!
