• glue, scissors;
• two beads;
• a slice of fine gum;
• FolkArt sealant for fabric treatment.

2. Two pieces of wood for the heels are pasted with a cloth, leaving on top the allowance of the fabric for gluing the heel.
3. From the fabric we cut out two symmetrical details for the shoes: insole, backs and socks according to the proposed pattern.
4. On the insole we glue several layers of the same form of cardboard and form the soles on the leg of the doll.
5. We glue to the soles of the back of the shoes.
