Skunkbait's keep em barefoot and pretty, irreverent happy feet of righteousness (monster feet slippers)

What can be more fun than running around with giant feet? You can with these giant feet slippers for your little monster. Here is Caitlin kickin back at Grandma's house with her big dawgs.

You can get giant slippers with monster themes but why not just make them giant human feet? This instructable will show you how to make a pair of giant feet slippers for kids of all ages.

Maybe I can get Instructables member Tool Using Animal to see if wearing them will impress the ladies.

Please address all concerns to Instructables member Skunkbait who inspired the title and who you can ask the meaning of living the good life.

Step 1: Basic Materials

This project is easier to do if you have a sewing machine with a free-arm option. Don't worry, this can all be hand sewn, it just takes a little longer. Only a basic straight stitch is involved or if you want to, a binding or locking type of blanket stitch can be done.

Search for the other sewing instructables if you want to learn how to sew.

You will need:

some flat thin cardboard to use as the slipper stiffener
a pair of adult sized quarter-style socks - ones that don't show the sock when you wear them in shoes
some fleece or fabric in some flesh tone color
some felt scraps to use for decoration as the toenails
fiberfill or scrap material to stuff in toes

marker
scissors
needle and thread or sewing machine
glue

Hey, if you have happy shoes, you gotta have happy feet, and happy dawgs don't yelp. I would expect you to use deerskin lined with rabbit fur or something.

HA ha. That's a thought. I definielty have enough deerhide. I'd have to get another bunny or two (we don't usually keep the fir). But also, where I work, they frequently throw out fairly large scraps of leather and sheepskin (used to make seats in $40 mill. corporate/private jets). They would make good barefoot and pudgy (for me not mrs skunk) slippers.
