• Polymer clay of the right color, suitable for the outfit of the doll;
• Any model knife (suitable and clerical).

From clay it is necessary to mold a base in the form of a wedge or platform, with a raised one edge - where the heel of the doll "Monster High" should be. We put a foot on it and cut off unnecessary excess on each side.

After that, we cut out two strips with a thickness of about 1-2 mm. These strips must be applied from behind to the heel in the form of a back and in front, to form the toe of the shoe. Carefully level the material so that no seams and wrinkles remain.

We take out the "Monster High" leg from the workpiece and, if a heel is needed, we just cut it out of the wedge - the base of the shoe is ready!

Now you can start decorating. From the same clay, you can make straps, paste flowers or apply patterns with a toothpick. After that, the shoes are baked in the oven. It is worthwhile to carefully read the instructions to the polymer clay - the manufacturer usually leaves recommendations for the required temperature and baking time.

A napkin is better to take a white color, so that then the finished shoes would be easier to paint in any color.

Eraser or platform under toe is cut from the eraser. If the shoes are heeled, then for its formation you need to trim the thick edge of the toothpick. The parts are neatly glued to the workpiece on the Monster High leg, after which they are wrapped in a couple of layers with a napkin with PVA.

Carefully remove the base for the shoes from the foot of the doll. Now you can cut the desired shape from the workpiece and proceed with the decor. Then everything can be limited only by the imagination of the author! For painting shoes, you can use glitter, nail polish or acrylic paints.
