Shoe Sugar Month: Day 7 Rainy Day Fluff

Different shades of gray never look drab.

And look great paired with this dress.

By the way, if any of you are interested I can show you how to make those complimentary insoles. Sometimes when you're shoe shopping, a nice insole will sell you on a shoe DESPITE the fact that no one is ever gonna see 'em. Funny huh?
I made these with you guessed it, my Sizzix! I bought a circle die and made all the circles you see in the tutorial in a matter of seconds. Definitely worth it for me.

 You could do so many different shades of colors with this circle technique. I might reuse this idea for another day.

1. I used my Sizzix machine to make four sizes of circle, 21 circles per size and material. I used a taffeta, chiffon, and organza.

2. I then sprayed my circles with no fray spray. BUT if I were you I'd wait until after I was finished to do this step. It's a lot easier to work with the circles when they're not as stiff.

3. Separate circles in groups of four by varying material.

4. Fold largest circle in half.

4.Do the same with the other three sizes and layer them on top of each other.

5. Fold in half again.

6. Sew at bottom catching all the layers.

7. Glue clusters together in groups of three.

8. Take those clusters and glue four together for each shoe clip.

 9. Cut out a rectangle shaped piece of felt (preferable in the shade shoe clip you are makin. I didn't. have any black or gray on hand) and hot glue to bottom. Glue clip on to felt.


Done.
