CREATIVE SUNDAY || STEP BY STEP TUTORIAL ON HOW I MADE THESE MICKEY MOUSE LEATHER FOOTWEAR

HELLO HIVE

Hello everyone, Welcome to my blog this Sunday afternoon. I hope your weekend has been enjoyable. It's been a week since I last showed up the creative aspect of me, and today I'll continue in that trend as I'll love to take you through the process of how I made this footwear made with Mickey Mouse leather material for an old customer.

He then called me and requested that I construct him shoes with any leather design that features a cartoon or anime character since he was attending an event where such footwear was required as a gate pass. I went to the market with that in mind, and after looking around for a while, I saw the Mickey Mouse leather and decided to just make do with it.

MAKING PROCESSES

• After getting all the required materials, I started cutting the design of the footwear he want for his palm Slippers, and after that I rub gum on the black linning and join the Mickey mouse leather I cut for the upper on it, press it with hammer before cutting out the shape.

• After that I punch holes on the Mickey mouse leather on the part where the bucket will be attached, after which I cut some straight Mickey mouse leather and wrap it around the bucket, I then joined them to the upper design with the aid of a eyelets pin.

• Once that is achieved, I wrap the black linning on the Marko material after applying gum on both, then I joined(last) the upper design to it and took it to the filling machine for filling of the edges to be rough.

• Finally I also filing the rubber sole and then apply gum on it and the back of the Marko, after that I joined the both together and hit with an hammer 🔨 in all areas so it can still together perfectly.
