New addition to your family? A happy event in the house, pleasant chores, worries. Probably all new mothers know the feeling when you want to make sure that your baby is the very best. The most beautiful, the smartest, the most perfect. We try to do everything we can for him.

Many women personally sew and knit exclusive clothes for their loved ones, including their children. A hot item is newborn booties. But not all craftswomen imagine how they can be unusually decorated.

How can you decorate booties for a girl?

The tiny shoes, decorated with all sorts of cute details, look very touching. Delicate and airy, incredibly bright, they immediately catch the eye and leave no one indifferent. What is better to use as a finish and how to decorate finished booties?

Beads

They are either immediately woven during the knitting process, or they are sheathed on a finished product.Beads can be used in various colors, textures, sizes. It is advisable to place it in such places that the baby does not experience discomfort.. Usually placed on the upper part of the lapel, ruffles, frills tied with teeth, along the contour of the foot. You can place a separate bead in the center of a flower or a bow made of thin satin braid. The yarn used is soft and warm, preferably natural cotton, wool, wool blend or acrylic.

Important! The beads should be fixed as tightly as possible so that the child cannot tear them off and swallow them.

Ribbons

Cute bows are created from satin, guipure or nylon ribbons of any width. For this we need:

• ribbon;
• scissors;
• 4 wooden skewers or knitting needles;
• a piece of cellular cardboard.

We do this:

1. Insert skewers into the cells of the cardboard sheet through one hole.
2. We take a ribbon about 20 cm long and no more than 2 cm wide, bend it around the leftmost stick and braid the rest through one.
3. Having reached the end, we turn around and repeat the same procedure in a checkerboard pattern.
4. In the third pass we finish the weaving, both ends of the tape are located on different sides.
5. We tie them with a thin decorative braid between two middle skewers, at the same time forming a bow from it.
6. We remove the product from our homemade design and carefully straighten it.
7. We cut both ends along an oblique line and set them on fire with a lighter so that they do not crumble.
8. We decorate the middle with rhinestones, sequins, beads, seed beads, artificial stones, and colored buttons.

Knitted pattern

Original ornaments and patterns will also be an excellent solution for making booties for girls. New Year's theme with snowmen on New Year's Eve, floral motifs, animal faces, butterflies, pompoms, hearts - everything will be appropriate and funny.

Jewelry options for boys' booties

There are plenty of ideas for boys too. Models in the form of ankle boots and shoes with laces imitating ties, straps with buttons, eyelets, fringes will incredibly harmoniously “sit” on the legs of the future man. Wonderful slippers with teddy bears in a bow tie, moccasins with cars, stylized sneakers with sports team logos - a fun and unique design.

Booties in the shape of cars are knitted as usual, four parts in the form of round disks are added to them, which are sewn in place of the wheels. The square toe part is decorated with two light-colored flat buttons - these will be the headlights. The white lapel at the junction of the instep with the boot will represent a front window.

While playing the role of comfortable shoes, they are also warm, cozy socks. The main thing is that your little angel grows up healthy and strong.
