Using $3 Walmart slippers to make DIY cat slippers

To begin, gather your supplies. I’m using these black fabric slippers from Walmart that came in a pack of 2 for $6 CDN. What a great deal!

Removing the bow from Walmart slippers

Next, remove any embellishments your slippers have with a seam ripper. Mine had a small satin bow that I removed.

Cutting ear shapes from black scrap fabric

Now, using a scrap piece of black fabric, cut out small triangle shapes for ears. You can use any sort of fabric that won’t fray when it’s cut like faux fur, minky or felt.

Next, use hot glue or fabric glue to attach the ears to the top sides of each slipper. I’m using my hot glue gun with special Gorilla Glue glue sticks that seem to hold up well for me in the wash.

Finally, use an embroidery needle and white embroidery floss to stitch a small triangle nose and whiskers onto the top of each slipper. You can free-hand the design like I did, or draw it onto each slipper first with a washable white chalk pen. Make sure to tie your floss firmly at the back of your work before cutting.
