    Great tutorial! My shoe making adventures have always lead to much screaming and cursing, but this actually doesn't look too bad. Lol ;)

      Hi Mandy,
      I say just go for it! It's really do-able, and not as difficult as you might expect.
      Feel free to let me know how you get on, I'd love to see some pics! :D
      Take care,

    Hi Erika, thanks for your comment!

    Yes, tiny fastenings are a tricky thing to find! I'm in the UK and I order my 3mm eyelets from Grin & Craft it at: http://www.grinandcraftit.co.uk/product-category/eyelets/, but there are other craft shops that stock them usually in the section for making greeting cards & papercrafting.

    I've not yet been able to find tiny zippers yet either. I've often relied on micro-velcro which is also quite tricky to find unless you recycle the micro-velcro strips off Barbie clothes. However, if you're the US, I know of http://www.zipperthatdoll.com/hookloop.html, who do stock micro-velcro. It is definitely useful stuff as it's not 'fluffy' like normal velcro but very smooth and thin. They do also stock zippers, but I have no idea how small these may or may not be...

    I also rely on tiny buttons and snap fastenings, which you can get at http://www.mylittlecustoms.com/Doll_Buttons/cat635041_576219.aspx. Again she is a UK shop, but she does ship worldwide too. This shop also has lots of mini buttons: http://www.gregory-knopp.co.uk/acatalog/Tiny_Buttons.html, but I haven't tried this shop yet.

    Hope that helps and good luck! Let me know if you make any new discoveries along the way! ;-)
    Take care, Kiki xx

    Your boots are amazing!!!. I have purchased all of the tools you have made a summary and hope to be making my own Dr.Martins very soon for my fabric dolls. My first attempts at making any kind of shoe or boot for a doll truly awful and abandoned my projects. Like yourself, I have a vast interest in all kinds of creativity yet wish to establish myself as a multi-media artist and hope to have my own website soon.
    Thanks enormously for your tutorial it will help me hugely with my bootie projects - BlackRavenClothing Corneille Long Boots are my ultimate goal!.

    hello,
    I am bad at english and I want to buy all this stuff to make holes in shoes but I don;t know hot to buy the good ones :(
    how big are this eyelets that you are using ? I found at etsy.com a 1/16''
    and than I only found Revolving Punch Pliers that is 2mm
    And what about Eyelet Setter wchich one will be good for so small eyelets ? please can you somehow help me ? If I will buy mac 10 mm will it also work for so small ones?

      Hi Ewelina,

      Thanks for your questions, sorry about my late response!
      The eyelets I used were 3mm, which is about 1/8". But Revolving Punch pliers can be too big for making holes this small. For tiny holes I use a pair of small, very sharp embroidery scissors instead. I make 2 tiny cuts crossed like an X where I want the hole, trim the points and push the eyelet through. This works well on leather as it stretches and doesn't fray like fabric. But for 1/16" eyelets, maybe you can just puncture the leather with a large needle?
      I don't know about an Eyelet Setter for 1/16" eyelets either, sorry. For that size I would probably improvise with needle-nosed pliers...

      Hope this helps and good luck! :)

    Thank you so much for making this tutorial!!!! I'd only had Damy for three days but she definitely needed boots, so over the Thursday and Friday I made these for her <3 They still definitely need soles, and I will eventually make her a more accurate pair for her character in a deep red leather and work out all the kinks that my pattern had, but I'm so happy with these for now. Your tutorial was so straightforward to follow which was great because I wouldn't have bothered otherwise as I would have been scared off. Thank you so much for this xx

    Hope this link works, here's the boots I made:

Nier: Automata - All the 2B Dolls and Figures I Can Find

Image
Dear Square Enix - we want more Nier: Automata Dolls and Figures to collect. We NEED them! Please and thank you. My current gaming obsession, together with countless other millions of dedicated fans, is Nier: Automata. So who's with me on wishing they could afford to add the Black Box Edition's collector's figure of main character 2B to their roster of dolls and figures Just look how awesomely cool she is! But at £226.96 (+ £31 p&p) that's not going to happen for me right now. If you can go get her, she's on eBay right now, but if I were you I'd be quick about it! :D So while we're pining over 2B looking gorgeous, why don't we take a look at all the other official and fan-made Nier: Automata-inspired dolls and figures that are scooting around the web at the moment. Plus, on my hunt for these I even found a juicy little teaser from Square Enix about a possible new 2B figure coming out , which I'll reveal at the bottom of this post -

Nier: Automata - Dollfie Is Making A 9S Doll As Well!

Image
A BJD of 9S! Dollfie have announced their release of a 9S BJD and I managed to find this picture of him! Adorable right? He appears to be a little less tall than 2B, just like in the game which is great. A release date hasn't been announced yet, and nor has the price point, but knowing Dollfie I wouldn't expect anything less than £1000.  Which is a minus point for me personally, but understandable for a limited edition production.  However I'm really, really looking forward to all the photos popping up over the internet of 2B and 9S together once they've both been released - I'm hoping there will be lots of adorable photostories. People of the internet: please make it happen!  ☺ Another thing - this music video collaboration between Square Enix and Japanese rock band Amazarashi is where we caught our first glimpse of 2B as a Dollfie doll. But this does come with a warning - if you think you'll be freaked out by watching dolls being crushed b
