Duct Tape Toms-like shoes for American Girl Dolls
This was an experiment and it turned out really nice- a Tom’s shoes for American Girl Dolls made of duct tape. I actually love it especially the fact that my daughter can make it herself because it’s really easy. While the quality is not at par with the Toms by Liberty Jane, it’s cute enough as a project for any kid who loves making stuff for their dolls. My daughter made 4 pairs, one for each of our dolls. She adores it so much that she decided to post the video tutorial in her youtube account, her username is pinkiepinkgirl. Below is the video tutorial for making this shoes.

My Goodness, what talent you have! Thank you so much for sharing your duct tape shoe tutorial. I have 3 granddaughters and one of them is now old enough to receive her first American Girl doll. I’ve been looking for clothes/shoes tutorials all over the web. So glad I found your website. Thank you!
I’m glad you like it.
I think it is AWESOME a little girl can post a better tutorial than the adult versions I have seen! TY so very much! I will be trying this for my doll AND my grand daughters doll for christmas! Awesome job sweetie! Keep going and who knows, maybe one day you will be a designer!
This is fabulous!
The tutorial was great will try some of the shoes.
Your tutorial was great. My daughter and I made two pairs of shoes. One for her pilgrim doll. Thanks for the tutorial. The only problem I ran into was on the sides where the backs of the shoes hung forward even with the tape so we ended up just making a criss cross with the tape on each of the sides.
Thanks for sharing.
You really have to make sure that it fits perfectly on the doll when you tape it.
Super crafty girl! I love it! Cannot wait to make a bunch of these for my little one’s 18″ doll. Thank you so much for your awesome tutorial!
