These are tooooo cute! What if you used plastic instead of the cardboard? Then maybe they could be washable?

Karrieann...those are so cute! I am out of town right now but will print that pattern out for a future gift idea. Those could be embellished in so many various ways; you would never have to make two pair alike. Thanks for sharing!

I saw those yesterday and saved the pattern to my computer. I'm going to make some and the suggestion of plastic instead of cardboard is a great idea. Not going to start them until I finish some of the other projects I have on the go.

Give thanks to yourself everyday for all the wonderful things you do!

Ingrid we are suppose to finish projects - maybe that is what I am doing wrong. Great project - I cut apart some old jeans for aprons and now I have a use for those leg portions... I think I will use some felted sweater material to add some bounce in my step - sandwich the jean material with the wool in between.. I also have some leather skirts I purchased at a thrift store which I might use for the sole. Oh see what you have done - mind racing and I was planning to finish painting the windows today - now you know why I have finished projects - Crafty ADHD...

How cute are these!!! LOL I have a bunch of old jeans I've gathered forever!! Do have quilt squares cut out now....and a friend kept all the pockets!! Anyhow...slippers sound like a fun project!! And using plastic, instead of cardboard sounds like super idea!! :)
