The shoe clip parade continues and emojis are so necessary. To be honest, I haven’t really figured out the whole emoji thing. I guess it has something to do with the fact that I talk a lot, which means I really, really like words. Real words. Words made up from letters. Words that I can put together into a long-winded story about the randomest of things. Like tie-dye outfits. And ugly sweaters. I can still appreciate a well, placed emoji, though. I use them a ton on Instagram, but now I’m crafting with them in another Craft My Flats original. It had to be done.
What you need:
- Emoji shapes and circles cut from tooling leather using the Cricut Explore (click the link to grab the cutting file for this project, then set your machine to the “Leather -Heavy” custom setting)
- Yellow glitter
- Red, tan and yellow acrylic paints
- Foam brushes
- Glitter glue
You will also need:
- shoe clips
What you do:
- Paint the emoji faces with yellow acrylic glue
- Paint the circles half red and half tan as shown
- Brush glitter bond glue on to the emoji faces then sprinkle with yellow glitter
- Adhere the faces on top of the circles as shown. The glitter bond will actually work just fine for adhering the two pieces of leather to each other.
- Adhere the shoe clips. The glitter bond will work great for this too!
- (not shown) rock those emoji shoe clips, because you are now officially the coolest gal on the block.
you’re killing me with the shoe clips! LOL
Ahhh! These are SO dang cute!!
Did you buy stock in shoe clips? You should!
OMG I am never at a loss for words or emojis. yet ironically, I cannot use the emojis on my computer here, so words will have to suffice. LOOOOOOOVE. and I didn’t know that you could cut leather with the cricut. GAME CHANGER.
Thanks!!! here’s my fav emoticon instead 🙂
Attracting new friends can be scary. It’s easy to get in your head and feel like people are judging every little thing you do, but the good news is that these feelings go away over time as you keep putting yourself out there.
Using emojis to craft my flats adds a playful, personalized touch to my footwear. It’s a simple way to express creativity and mood through design. I love vintage designer handbags mixing colors and icons to create unique pairs that reflect my personality, making every step a fun fashion statement.
