I want those Leopard Slippers...

Yep, these leopard slippers. 

Aren't they cute?
I saw them HERE...


Are you a slipper Girl?
I am.
Always have them on inside the house.
 These are my favorite style to wear.
Either Pink....


Or Black.

I have about 5 pair and I get them at Walmart.
See the price only $7.97!




I love the ballerina stlye of slipper.
I really wanted the Patricia Green Lola Slippers,
 but I am to Frugal CHEAP to pay $37.00 plus shipping for them.
Anyway they didn't have a size 9. 

 Yep, I have big feet!

 I could justify the price,
 because  I would wear them at home every day.

But why not GLAM up my Walmart slippers? 
While purchasing the slippers at Walmart,
 I picked up some leopard print fabric. 

 I'm lucky my Walmart carries fabric
 and they have quite a nice selection.


I used a seam ripper to carefully remove the white bow.


I needed to make some bias tape with the leopard fabric.
I just love using these bias tape makers. 
They come in different sizes.

They work GREAT. 
You can purchase them at your local fabric store.


I cut 2" strips of fabric on the bias...


Inserted my fabric in the bias tape maker
and ran the iron along to set the folds.


Here's the completed piece of bias tape.




Pinned the bias tape around the slipper
 and then machine stitched it in place. 
This was a bit tricky.
  You could hand stitch the bias tape in place.
As always I was to impatient to hand stitch.

To be honest,
 I wanted to take them with me that evening to a friends house. 
 My slippers go everywhere with me.

Is that weird?
  I don't like cold feet!


Now doesn't that look better than my plain Walmart slipper?


I made a little fabric flower which I hand stitched.



Where's the BLING you ask?

Yep, I added a rhinestone button to the center of the fabric flower.


This is a quick and easy project
that will Glam up those Plain Jane Slippers!

I'll be linking this project to the following links...
