These baby booties are a really great way to dress up a party, and they can be used in so many ways.

Try filling them with candy or other party favor items to be set out on tables at a baby shower or a first birthday party. You could even hand out invitations rolled up in the shoes, place mini cupcakes in them or use paper clips to make hooks for the shoes to be hung up as party decorations.

Materials

Baby Bootie Cups

Cut about an inch off the top of a Styrofoam cup.

Start at the top of the cup and cut a slit down to about an inch from the bottom on the cup. Make an identical slit about an inch to an inch and a half from the first slit you made. This makes the tongue of the shoe. Next, press the tongue back and fold the sides in to create flaps over the tongue.

Take your hole puncher and punch matching holes on each flap. Brush clear nail polish on the inside of each hole and let it dry for about 20 minutes. Be careful not to use too much polish or the Styrofoam will melt. Finally, lace the ribbon through the booties like you would a real shoe. For a quicker option, try using a hot glue gun. Instead of punching holes, place a dot of hot glue to the flaps to hold it together, then hot glue a bow to it.
