This is my first instructable! I came up with this idea of making shoes after i learned how to fuse plastic bags. I don't really explain in detail how to do it in this but you can look it up and its pretty straight forward. I wanted to make something but i didn't want to make a big dress or anything like I've seen so i made some shoes! I've also made a wallet using the fused plastic bags method. Its so easy if i had more time and more plastic bags i would do it all day long!

Step 1: Begin taking apart the shoe

So first i bought these pair of converse at a market for really cheap near where i live. I got converse because i thought they would just be the easiest pattern. I took out the piece in the middle then I started with the stitching right next to the toe and cut them with a tiny pair of scissors. If i had a seam ripper that would have been much easier.

these are SO CUTE! converse tend to rub me wrong in the heel, so taking apart my old $20 target pair will be great.

definitely about to skip chores to do this.

This would be an amazing idea for used baby shoes. If the inside and bottoms are in good condition then this could really save some $$! Thanks for sharing!
