Barefoot sandals

[SurendraSkye]

Lately I've been making alot of barefoot sandals. I've given away a ton of them to friends and family, and now I've been selling a few too. When my husband found out how much money I was spending every week on them he freaked and said I had to sell enouph to break even, or I couldn't give them away anymore.

 

Sorry I don't have a blog so here is the picture of the 3 I have been making for the 4th of July. I've gotten bored of making the same old pattern, so I have been experimenting.

I made those as well a few months ago. They work up so easy. I also used clam bells on mine. Sold them for as well.. lol.

 

Good Luck.

Fun, and nice beadwork, too! Wouldn't think you'd have too much trouble selling those this time of year, whatever colors you use.

Those should be a big hit!

I started off using this pattern.

 

http://www.lewiscraft.ca/project01.php?innum=2380 a basic change is to do more than 6 beads...do six on each side. Thats what I did the first time I changed it and then I just tweaked them again and again, untill I found styles that I liked. I try to do something different every week. I was spending a fortune on the thread, untill I finally found a place online that sold it by the pound. My husband was getting mad when he found out I was spending $35+ a week. Thats when he made me start selling them. I've sold quite a few locally, but they aren't doing very well on ebay. There are alot of very pretty ones there, that are just bead work, with no crochet. I personally think they will break easily, The crochet just seem so much stronger.

Those are great!!! I had a spell where I was making tons of them too and giving them away until it became such a chore as so many people kept requesting them (for free). It became a job and I don't do jobs well. So I quit but have been wanting to start again as gifts & things.
