I whipped this one up to see how it would look.
Not sure if people would think this is a glass slipper,
or just a high heel. (If you do an image search for
glass slipper there are some really nice ones!)

This is another trial idea for the 2010 church bazaar.

that is cute Lady Helen.  Maybe if you did a mouse and pumpkin carriage with the glass slipper they would get the idea of Cinderella

Cool Helen, Here is one I did for my Granddaughter when she was visiting this summer. I found the idea in one of her coloring books.

two points, if I may

1) the heel is very insecure. needs reinforcing to get rid of the hinge.

2) hanging from that loop, will give it a serious "toe's down" tilt

Graham how do I reinforce the heel?
I know that is a dumb question to you though I really
don't know what I should do to fix it.

I actually made two shoes, on the other one I attached the hanger
about half way across the top.

Restrip along that back edge where the red is. Failing that a, a run all the way round with rire would help. Wire along the rdge would also make it firmer, to support the hanger somewhere along the top edge, since there's no "seam" to attach into.

Hold the shoe by the top edge daintily between your fingers. move your fingers along the edge to find the "balance point". Put your hanger where the shoe hangs at the angle you want. The pray that nobody pulls down hard on the shoe, and pulls the edge loose. Wider foil along that edge would also hold a tad better.

I have never used restrip before, but its time I
get my feet wet.

Thank you for all your advise.

Thanks Cinderfella! Giggle

These fat fingers that have difficulty finding a single key on a keyboard, can be
dainty if the occasion warrants. I can hold a bone china tea-cup with considerable
grace, if the tea is properly laced.

Remember, from those bygone years, what a good dancer to chubby guy was??
