As Promised here is the Tutorial for the DIY Winter Ice Skate…
As mentioned HERE
Materials Needed:
Felt, Yarn, Hot Glue Gun, Shears, Glitter and Stuffing
I started with Drawing out a Basic Ice Skate Boot then added the Blade
I cut out the main piece…
And then went in with smaller shears and cut out the space between the Boot and the Blade
I then placed my Now Ice Skate Pattern.. on my Felt and cut around the main Boot Part
This it what it will look like… I forgot to get pictures of me cutting the blade out… But you do just the same as the boot…
I made some Pom Poms with my Yarn… And added some Glitter to my Blade to give it some SHINE
I used my Tulip Glitter to make Dots where the Laces would be… I then dragged them out with the tip of my Glitter Paint Bottle making “V” shapes to give the appearance of Laces
I also used some Martha Stewart Glitter to bring a little bit of Shimmer to the Ice Skate Boot…
After the Glitter Paint was all dry… I hot glued my boot together… Sandwiching the Blade in between…
I then glued the Boot Heel on…
Then on the TOE part of the Boot I put a goodly amount of hot glue to attach my Pom Pom… An Ice Skate just wouldn’t be complete without a Pom Pom… Don’t you agree..??
Attach your Pom Pom… Pressing and making sure you are shaping it as you go… You wouldn’t want it to get caught up in your Glue all WONKY!!
OOOOOPPPSSS!!!
That pile of Yarn is what happens when you are making a Pom Pom and accidentally cut the yarn that is holding it together….
Once your Skate is all glued together you can begin to stuff it…
The Possibilities are Endless with these Adorable Winter Skates…
I used it to make a little Sewing Hostess Gift to giveaway to one of my friends who Loves Everything Pink and Everything Sewing… Oh that kinda sounds like me… 
It is already stuffed with filling and just accessorized with Wonderful Goodies…
So after you have given them their Beautiful Gift… You can let them know they only need to Hot Glue the Top shut and they NOW have an Adorable Stuffed Winter Ice Skate to use as they would like…
So Cute Isn’t it..??
I think so… I will be sharing some other ways to use these Skates… So Stay tuned…But until then.. Happy Ice Skate Making To You!!
NOW AVAILABLE!!!

Thank You Evelyn… I couldn’t have done it without Thauna… http://designbythauna.com/ She really is amazing!!
I am madly in love with this ice skate. The material, the pom pom (and I do that ALLLLL the time when I make pom poms…I drive myself crazy) and the sweetness of the fact that it is a HOSTESS GIFT! Good gracious I would be over the moon if I ever received such a thoughtful gift. It’s just so wonderful!
Oh thanks for sharing. It looks easy enough that I hope to try it. Sure looks beautiful.
Beautiful new website! Everything is always so PRETTY!
XOXO

Will definitely be trying that! I am crazy about vintage ice skates right now, so this is Perfect♥
That is so clever, Angelina! I love it! What a great gift for your friend, too. I had another idea for it, but I’ll keep my mouth shut in case it’s one you will be sharing. : )
Well I can’t wait to see what Idea you have…. I will be showing mine in a few days… So you’ll have to let me know if it’s the same…
Thank you so much for sharing Angelina you’re such a sweetie! This is just adorable and you know how I love pink! I am going to have to make this one! Love and Hugs, Jennifer
Once again, you are amazing! Love the beauty and simplicity of this project.
One anther note, those boots better be at my doorstep by the morning! I searched and searched based on your description and (apart from a quick consult with the hubby) it didn’t take long to poke that “Place Order” button. Basically, I’ve been in Texas for three years now…don’t you think it’s high time this California transplant has a pair of cowboy boots?
I hope you take a Picture… I would LOVE TO see them… Did you find the same ones…?? And Yes, I do believe that you should have some boots Especially living in Texas…
Oh how cute is that, I of course love the pom pom, so did you say poop when you cut the only piece of yard holding your pom pom together! LOL I bet the kids love that skate! Yep you are the most creative Mom, you sure make your auntie proud!
Auntie Carol
Oh thank you Auntie Carol… The girls LOVE the skates and only wish they could put them on…
Be sure to be watching as I will be showing them used in a whole other way…
These are so cute!! A smaller pair would look adorable on a wreath!
Yes that would be adorable…:)
Lovely! Thanks for the tute! xo Malia
That is the most beautiful little skate. Really sweet. Thanks for sharing at DIYbyDesign’s Fall into Fall party.
So cute! I love the pink pom poms, very girly
I’d love for you to link this up to my link party, Your Whims Wednesday! http://www.mygirlishwhims.blogspot.com/2011/11/your-whims-wednesday-35-and-features.html
This is SO cute! Amazing work!
Me again. Ihave made 5 smaller skates and 2 1/2 larger ones. I love them. Mine aren’t as good as yours……and I don’t have that cute little model and a good camera. I will posting pictures today or tomorrow. I figured the cost to be $10 and that included the stuffing and I have tons left over. Can’t wait to see what else you do with yours.
Hi Debby,
I can’t wait to see what your Skates look like.. I will be looking out for the post..
SOOO adorable!!! I LOVE it!!

What a cute idea and an excellent tutorial. Nice job!

What an exquisite idea. These beauties would look stunning hanging in a front window of a home…….Love love love. Thankyou so much for the inspiration.
Very sweet “skate”. I love this (I skate and my only daughter started lessons at age 4, just for fun- she’s a much better skater than me!) Thanks for this sweet craft- might make her one (she’s 18 now) to ask her if she remembered her lessons!
Visiting from TT&J tonight,
Smiles, and happy holidays from Chilly NW Illinois

What a sweet DIY! We decorated with ice skates and snowflakes this year – I might have to try these as stockings with a blanket stitch edge for my two girls! Visiting via Tater Tots & Jello!
Wow that is so cute! And when you show them in a garland they are even more magical! I love them! Culd you link them up to my party ?

I saw these on the Sundae Scoop at I heart naptime while I was linking up…..these are so cute! I may just have to make some….even though I am the only girl in the house. They give me that warm, fuzzy holiday feeling. maybe I will make some girly ones for me and some boyish ones for my guys. Thanks for sharing!

I really love these skates. They are so cute and super easy to make with my daughter. I made a few over Christmas with a pile of people. They turned out really well. Thank you for the great idea!
I just love this idea to make ice skates. I have looking around for real ones to decorate. They are very hard to find. We live in Texas and there is no where to ice skate. I can not wait to make these for friends. THANK YOU so much for sharing.
Hugs
