C&K: Step by step on how to make cute elephant house slippers for your toddler

HI,
I would like to share this cute idea I decided to do, cause I was tired of trying to find those perfect and not so expensive! little house slippers for my almost 2 year old who is fascinated with elephants...

If you don't know how to crochet.... is OK!

Here I am adding a YouTube video I found that shows you the basics

After you watch the video, go ahead and try to make your own creations :) You can make House slippers for all ages, pillows, beanie hats, blankets..you name it...

This is what we are going for today...

Let's start!!

STEP #1

Measure your toddler's shoe size, you can guide yourself with one of his existing shoes.

STEP #2

Finish the bottom, you could also sew a leather sole if you like

STEP #4

Start in the middle middle like the first image, then crochet down and add the 2 pieces together, that's where you will be placing the elephant's face

STEP # 5

This is how it will look like after you crochet the bottom and top together

STEP # 6

Adding the shape of the elephant's face

This is before attaching it

STEP # 7

We are almost there!! Just sew some ears, in this case, I used fabric, add the eyes and finally add teeth to make the trumped stand out!

I hope I made the steps clear for you :)
You could always play around with it and add a different animal if you want...

And here are the results! Cute elephant house slippers made by mommy for only $2.99 +tax ( for material only )
