Baby Bootees a lovely gift ...
...for a New Baby.

Make these Baby Bootees as a lovely gift for a New Baby.

They are unusual but easy to make and I am sure the parents would be delighted if they received these to welcome their new addition.

Make them in any colour, and add the embellishments of your choice.

I have used lace around the tops, and a pearly Brad to close the front of the bootees.

Here's what you need to make your own.









2 disposable Polystyrene cups.

The sort you buy for parties to save you washing up....

I bought a pack and they are really cheap and you get loads so you can practise several times.

This is a rough guide for you to follow.

Make two slits into the cup about 4cms ( 1 1/2ins)apart, from the top rim to about 2.5cms (1in) from the base. (The bottom black dashed line)

Then you will need to remove the top 2.5cms (1in) from the top of the cup. (The top dashed line)

And this is what it should look like when you have done that.

The centre part, that you first cut, becomes the tongue and should be pushed slightly backwards.

The two sides are pushed inwards to form the front of the boot.

I have glued some ribbon around the top of this one...

... but these have been decorated with some glitter glue spots, Promarker stripes and some beautiful lace to edge the top of the boot.

Bend the tongue down a little out of the way, and then make a small hole through the two sides and fasten them together with a brad.

Delightful...Yes?

Don't forget to make a pair, and then you will need something to put your Baby Bootees in...so how about making a Special Box for them.
