Therefore, you have to take this matter into your own hands and make your own slippers. In addition, you can make slippers with your own hands as a special gift for someone; although the item is extraordinary, it contains the “warmth” of your hands, which may be more pleasant than an ordinary store-bought product.
We will tell you how to make slippers with your own hands in this article, and we will offer you several options. Choose which one is right for you.
Lasso Slippers by Gaspard Tiné-Berès
To create slippers you will need a piece of soft felt and a long lace.
The first step is to cut a pattern from a piece of felt. Make the base according to the size of the foot, the height of the sides of the slippers is to your taste - 6-7 cm or more or less.
Then you cut out the instep of the foot. It’s probably worth doing the pattern operation on the auxiliary material first, and when you’re happy with it, cut out the felt. Well, then, just tie the parts of the slippers together with a lace.
That's all.
Knitted slippers with your own hands
You will need perforated insoles, a piece of fabric, a hook and thread.
The insoles are applied to the fabric, and we cut out the inner part.
Baste the fabric with the insole.
We knit the details of the slippers. Five are dialed air loops, and then adjusted to size.
The front parts of the slippers are decorated with knitted bows.
The edging is knitted...
... and the back of the slippers.
Sew the front part of the slippers to the sides.
All is ready.
DIY “Sunflower” slippers
As you understand, for such bright slippers you will need felt different colors. Prepare it. We take measurements from the leg and make a pattern.
Green felt is used to make the sole, heel, and front part. Yellow felt is used for the sole and for making a sunflower. Brown felt is also used for making sunflowers. Then we sew the apron and back to the sole using a welt stitch. The green sole and yellow sole are also joined with a welt seam or glued.
How to make a sunflower is probably not worth telling. Everything is quite obvious.
As you can see, they turned out to be unusual bright slippers.
DIY Floral Slippers
We take measurements from the leg and make a pattern.
Yellow felt is used to make the sole and forefoot. Cut out the soles of the slippers from brown felt. We sew the front part to the brown sole. Then the yellow part of the sole is sewn or glued. And the final touch is sewing on the braid. Choose the ornament yourself.
DIY “Roses” slippers
Pink fleece, pink lining fabric, white felt, and satin ribbons half a centimeter wide will be used. We take measurements from the leg and make a pattern like this.
The tops of slippers are cut out of fleece, from lining fabric– parts for the tongue. The soles and edges of the slippers are cut out of white felt. At the cut points, we connect the parts with pink tape using horizontal stitches and sew the edges of the slippers both top and bottom. Then we sew on the top of the slipper satin ribbon. Glue the second layer of the sole. The top of the slippers can be decorated with some flower made of satin fabric.
Another option for DIY slippers
We prepare insoles, genuine leather, awls, threads, glue.
Having attached the insole to the leather, we cut out two leather insoles (our leather is blue)
Then we place a foam or felt insole between two leather insoles and fasten them with drops of glue. And then carefully sew around the edges of the sole.
Now we make the top of the slippers. It is necessary to know the width of the entrance and the distance from thumb to the entry point.
Using the template we made, we cut out two pieces of leather.
We sew the edges of the upper parts like the sole - with a single crochet.
The next stage is stitching the parts together.
And the last stage is gluing the foam sole.
In fact, there are a great many options for slippers; we have presented only a part of the possible options. Perhaps you will come up with something of your own or use an existing idea, in any case, these slippers will turn out to be special, we are sure of it.
Good afternoon friends!
It turns out that you can quickly and easily create slippers with your own hands from scrap materials, and you don’t even need to look for a pattern of the right size. This is what Evgenia’s next competition entry and master class will cover.
Hello, friends. My name is Evgeniya. For as long as I can remember, I have always been interested in something, creating or performing something. I have favorite activities and hobbies, such as fishing. But I also like to try new arts and crafts or experiment with ones I already know. Different types My blog “” is also dedicated to creativity.
I’ve been thinking about making new slippers for a long time, but somehow I never got around to it. Therefore, the competition became an incentive for me.
It’s easy to make such slippers with your own hands, I will try to tell you in detail and show you in the photo.
Simple DIY slipper pattern
We don't need patterns for slippers in different sizes. We will build patterns ourselves, from which we will cut out parts to fit your leg.
I have the patterns ready, I have been using them for several years. Therefore, I will describe this process briefly.
It’s better to make them on cardboard by tracing the foot - you will get a template for the sole. You will also need a cover for the top of the slippers. Trace the pattern of the sole from the toes to approximately the middle. Measure the rise of your leg and distribute this distance from the middle of the lid equally in both directions. Draw the corners of the lid to the extended mark.
Materials for making home slippers
You can make your own slippers from a wide variety of materials: thick fabric, old jeans, felt, felt, fur, leather, even.
These materials will go to the top of the slippers and insoles.
For slippers you will also need:
- linoleum or thick leather for the soles
- foam rubber 10 mm thick.
- corrugated cardboard from a box
- scissors
- pen and marker
- hook and thread.
Cut out the details of the slippers
On a piece of linoleum I draw a sole according to the pattern. Here you need to position the pattern correctly so that the sole does not end up on one foot.
I also draw the sole on the foam rubber; here the location does not matter. It is better to draw on foam rubber with a marker.
I draw the same sole on cardboard. It is better to place the pattern on the cardboard along or obliquely to the corrugations, but not across. This way the cardboard will not break while working and wearing slippers.
Now you need to make an insole that will cover the foam. Any dense materials are suitable for it, such as drape, soft felt, suit fabrics, denim or leather. I have thick knitwear. From the wrong side of the material I trace the pattern, but so that there is a distance of two centimeters between the patterns.
I start opening the lid. Here you need to select materials so that the lid holds its shape well. I will use the same jersey as for the insoles and use it to make a pattern for the inner part that will be in contact with the foot.
I will make the upper part of the lid from a dermantine base.
I do not place the pattern for the top close to the edge of the material, but leave about 1 centimeter along the edges and trace it.
Having finished drawing, I move on to cutting. I cut out blanks on linoleum, cardboard, foam rubber and the inside of the lid according to the drawn contour.
And I cut out the insole for the sole and the upper part of the lid with an allowance, that is, stepping back from the outline by about a centimeter.
How to make slippers with your own hands - master class
Gluing blanks
To prevent the blanks from moving apart when piercing, I glue them together. For this purpose I use any available glue, for example “Titanium” or “Moment”.
I glue the foam rubber to the wrong side of the insole, and the bottom blank of the lid to the wrong side of the top.
There is no need to apply much glue, just lightly along the edges and in the middle.
After the lid parts are glued together, I cut off the corners. I do this for convenience when tying.
Piercing holes
With an awl you need to pierce holes on all the parts, stepping back from the edge about 1 centimeter, maybe a little less. The distance between the holes is approximately 0.7-0.8mm.
Sole binding
I will knit the parts with nylon thread, the kind used for knitting fishing nets. But you can take any other synthetic thread.
First I tie the edge of the linoleum sole. I make a loop on the thread, insert the hook from the front side of the workpiece and pull out the loop.
Having tied the entire sole, I cut the thread and fasten it.
In the same way I tie the foam rubber with the insole, turning the edge of the insole inward. This will give a neat look to the finished product, since the foam rubber will not stick out through the threads.
It is more convenient to start tying from the center of the heel or toe; below I will explain why.
Having finished tying the foam rubber, I do not cut the thread, but leave a loop.
I apply the insole to the sole so that they match. I insert the hook through the loop of the insole and under the loop on the sole and connect both parts with connecting loops.
Having connected the side parts of the parts in this way on one side, on the other there remains a pocket between the parts, into which I insert a corrugated cardboard blank.
It is more convenient to insert it into this side pocket, and the cardboard does not break. And it is needed to give the sole rigidity, and so that the heel does not sag when walking.
Having inserted the cardboard, I continue to connect the parts to the end, cut the thread and fasten it.
The sole is completely ready, I start tying the edge of the lid.
Tying the cap (top) of slippers
I tie the lid, like the previous parts, holding the front side towards me and tucking the edge inward. I start knitting from the right corner, this will allow me to connect the lid to the sole without breaking the thread.
Connection between base and lid
So, the lid is completely tied, I apply it to the sole so that the corners are at the same level. I connect the lid to the sole using connecting loops.
In the same way I tie and connect the parts of the second slipper.
These are your own DIY slippers - simple and quick!
Slipper decor
I wanted to decorate the slippers additionally; after all, they will be entered into a competition.
Choosing the right decoration for a colorful surface is not easy. After going through many options, I settled on bows left over from an old bag.
Carefully trimmed the protruding edges.
I chose the place where I would attach them and made holes with an awl. I inserted the legs of the bows into them, folded them on the wrong side and pressed them tightly.
I bring to your attention the resulting soft home slippers - slippers, which I made with my own hands.
Zhenya, thank you for your participation in the competition and the very beautiful slippers, we just needed non-knitted ones, and also special thanks for the great work on creating the master class! And these slippers are perfect for guests when someone comes home, there is always a problem of what to put on them, and they will be great for the New Year and any other holiday.

House slippers are great gift! Handmade with warmth and love, they will warm the feet of you and your loved ones!
I sewed these indoor slippers for all my family and friends. I’ve already made about fifty slippers! I determined the dimensions experimentally, but it’s better to check before cutting.
Step 1. Cut out the details.
Details of the upper part of the slipper:
- On the left in the photo there are 2 parts - this is the very top, it can be cut out from some beautiful fabric, not necessarily very durable. I usually cut from faux fur (old fur coats are used!)
- The 2 central parts are the lining, it serves for warmth. I usually cut it out of thin batting, the kind sold in hardware stores; they also use it to wash the floor.
- On the right in the photo are the details that need to be cut out of fabric that will be pleasant to the body.
All details are cut out the same way.
Details of the bottom of the slipper (sole):
- On the left in the photo is the outer part of the sole, it needs to be cut out of thick, very durable fabric, I cut it out of felt. From the same fabric I cut out heels.
- The 2 central parts are the lining, it serves for warmth and softness. I also cut it out of thin batting.
- On the right in the photo is the inner part of the sole. It needs to be cut out of fabric that will be both pleasant to the body and at the same time very durable. This part begins to wear out very first, especially under the heel.
Don't forget to cut out the pieces for the left and right legs.
Also for sewing you need to cut out strips of elastic fabric 3 cm wide. It is advisable to use synthetic fabric for this, it is stronger.
Step 2. Pin together the top parts.
Step 3. We sew a line from the wrong side, thereby fastening all 3 parts.
Step 4. If the top part is made of faux fur, then you need to cut off the excess fur along the edge. Cut it boldly, don’t be afraid, the fur along the edge will still get in the way. You can also cut off the excess lining and, in general, trim the entire part.
This photo shows the piece trimmed (left) and uncut (right).
Step 5. Now we take a strip of elastic fabric, place it with the right side on the front side of the part to the inner edge and sew it on.

Step 7. From the wrong side, cut off the excess strip close to the stitching.
View of the upper part of the slipper from the wrong side:
Step 8. Place the inner part of the sole on the wrong side of our part, face down, aligning the central marks (indicated in blue in the photo). We pin it with a pin.
Step 9. Align the side marks and also pin.
Step 10. Now you need to sweep away the parts.
Step 11. We sew a line with wrong side, thereby fastening the sole and the upper part.
Step 12. Now take the strips of fabric again and place them right side on the front side of the slipper. The beginning of the strip must be folded (see photo).
Let's add a line:
End of line:
General form:
Step 13. Turn the strip onto the wrong side of the slipper and sew a “Multiple Zigzag” stitch. The slipper blank is ready.
