Tutorial Tiny Puki Shoe Tutorial Completed! LOTS of images!

Wow! Great job!

 

That's a great trick with the organza -- thanks for sharing!

 

OMG!! it's awesome tutorial!! they're so tiny, is it same size with obitsus? want to try but lack of material

 

i hope to try this idea out with yo and msd feet

 

wow, Thanks sooo much!!

 

Thank you so much for this tutorial!

 

This is so cute!!

 

job well done, I'm shocked

 

gahhhh... just went out and bought the supplies I needed for this tutorial and I forgot the plaster...

edit: Okay, since this post, I have gotten my plaster and made lasts for my yosd, mnf, and sd (teenie gem, minifee, the ai) and I made 2 sets of each. I'm excited for the paper clay to dry so that I can get going on the shoe making! I have also purchased a shoes pattern on etsy, a nice one located here.

 

This... I have GOT to do this! Thank you so much for the tutorial!

 

Thanks so much for this tutorial, so detailed with good illustrations.

 

Wow. An amazing tutorial with excellent information. Those tiny shoes are lots of work!!

Ohh, that's amazing! I'll have to make my little pukipuki shoes some time....

 

Very brilliant work, I'll try to this. Thanks so much for great tutorial.

 

Thank you so much for your tutorial. I had considered making a shoe form for my doll, but was too timid to stick them into any type of molding putty or silicon. Do you have any problem with the molding material getting stuck in your ankle joints?

 

Great tutorial, thanks! Seems like a lot of work, but I really wanna try this someday.

 

Wow. That's a lot of work. There are parts I would attempt and parts I have no interest in taking the time with! Playing around with molds looks like fun!

 

awesome tutorial. thank you for sharing it.

 

Thank you so much for such an in depth tutorial. There isn't many tutorials, at least that I have found, for Pukipukis. Especially ones about shoes that have a pattern to go along with it.

 

Your technique is incredible!!
And the result is so cute ^^

 

That is amazing! I will probably try to use this for the tiny dolls I intend to own .q. Thank you!!

 

OMG this is so awesome. I tought making MSD shoes was hard but yours are even tinier.. Much be really hard working on so fidely dideli tiny parts. Respect for that and the result looks amazing

 

Amazing tutorial! I have been struggling to make shoes for my high heel Dollshe Amanda Beauty doll. I made my lasts by photocopying, measuring and eyeballing to make a carved last because I was afraid to stick my dolls feet into a moldmaking material. I see no harm in it now and think I could do a jointed heel foot by removing the ankle hook before casting the foot and leg. (or maybe tie a string to hold the foot to the leg and cut the sting later) That way the high heel foot can stay in the casting material while the leg is easily removed separate from the foot (as you show in your tutorial). I am going to give this a try! Thank you so much!
I think the use of organza as a base is genius too! Wow you have opened my eyes to many possibilities now!
Also the wax on last = genius! Solves so many problems! Thank you again!

 

Saving this to try out on slim yo's and pudgy tinies. (Gotta looove when a doll's foot is too big for her own shoes)

 

Fantastic!

 

This was a great tutorial so I have to hope the images will be fixed eventually. There's good descriptive instructions too.

 

Unfortunately,
genie stallings has not been active on DOA recently. Unless someone knows how to contact her, they probably won't be fixed.

 

Oh dear. Thanks for letting me know!

 

I started a conversion with her because she should get an email, if her email address is still active.

 

Don't delete this thread! Genie has responded and still has the pictures!

 

YAY! Thank you for contacting them!! This is one of the best shoe tutorials out there.

 

I hope she's able to either load the pics on a flicker or re-upload them here. The instructions were great but I could really use the pictures as a reference.

 

I really want to try this tutorial, it is so well made! The only thing is that I live in France and I have no idea where to find 3D gel so I was wondering: does it works with silicone and Plastiline? I think making foots is such a nice idea that I really want to do it!! If anyone can help I'd love it!

 

The 3D gel is alginate. If you search alginate you might find some in France.

 

I had no idea! I can for sure buy this, thank you!!

I was just wondering btw, I want to do this with my pukifee, the only thing is that as you can see on this picture: https://t1.daumcdn.net/cfile/tistory/2765AD3358772ECD2A the pukifee has kind of like a "hole" in the join between their foot and their leg, do you think if I wrap her with cellophane at this place it should be fine?

 

I would put a little piece of low stick painter's tape over the hole. Saran or cellophane would add a little bulk but that would work too.
When you remove the leg and foot from the mold, take the leg out first and then go back and wiggle the foot out. It will be easier to remove parts separately.
