Shoe pattern - http://artfulaffirmations.blogspot.com/2010/01/elegant-shoe-tutorial.html

1.  Begin by cutting the pattern.  You will need to cut two soles.  Cut the top/toe of the shoe about 1/4" larger so you will have more space to tuck a treat inside the shoe.   I also prefer using a nice weight double sided paper such as MME, Fancy Pants or EP. 

2.  Place the toe pattern on the cut piece and score around the edge of the pattern.  Now snip into the score line.  This is the section that will be attached to the bottom of the show.  Score the heel along the about 1/4 inch from the flat edge and cut about 5 notches from the center out.  Snip the rest.  Again this is the section that will be glued to the bottom of the shoe. 

3.  I run my ATG gun along the edge of the bottom of the sole at the toe.   Then attach one side of the toe piece at a time using the score line as a guide.  Do the same for the heel starting in the center of the back. 

4.   At this point you may want to add any lace or trim to the heel or across the toe if you want to tuck the ends onto the sole.   Fabric-tac seems to work the best for me.  Once that is complete then Modge Podge the 2nd sole to the bottom of the shoe and trim around the edges if needed.  I use Modge Podge because it adds a little more sturdiness to the shoe.   I usually set a small jar or bottle in the heel of the shoe to keep it from curling.  

5.  Now you can go to town embellishing  your shoe making it as elaborate as you want.
