DIY Mouse Flats

[Deleted]

A link my friend tweeted today!

My only concern would be possible poking inside, but otherwise I think this blogger did a pretty good job!

[azurely]

Huh, interesting.

I have never seen those before, but then, I live in the midwest and we are not exactly the fashion frontier here.

Right?

I know the real things are expensive, but I seriously could not do this myself.

LOL.  Yeah, I did a search and found some "nailed it" moments.

The first pair linked look poke-y. My feet hurt just looking at the metal brad pieces inside the shoe.

The insides of my real shoes are completely smooth and supple.  LOL.

I'm pretty sure I'd just take a pair of white flats and draw a mouse face on them. Cheap and easy.

I do think the mouse shoes are cute, but I'd rather spend the money than to make them myself.

Mine too. It seems like there needs to be a liner or something like the MJs.

I am from the midwest as well. I really don't understand the obsession with the mouse flats. I only hear about them here. I don't hate them. I just don't understand the draw to them.

I am from Los Angeles.

I really don't understand casseroles.

There are crocheted ones on etsy for little kids that are cute

Are those Band-Aids? OMG.

[ghost]

Miso, I don't understand casseroles either. I will say the flats could be cute. They are not my style probably because I could never pull them off, if you know what I mean.

[TrickyBob]

If it helps, I'm from the East and don't understand casseroles. But mouse shoes I can get behind.

[azurely]

Lol I also do not understand casseroles. From the midwest =/= casserole-making church lady

I think the mouse flats are semi-cute, but they're NMS. I guess I don't see the appeal of rodent-inspired footwear.

[Moe]

This is remarkably impressive, but yeah, those things will poke me. It's Murphy alright. He wins.

[agnes]

Don't knock the casserole!

I love casseroles

[Deleted]

Those are really cool and well done. Mine would look like a dead rodent instead of a cute mouse.

[thedutchgirl]

Hey, hey, hey. I'm from the Midwest and want some of these. And there is style in the Midwest.

I do love a good casserole on occasion, though.

[Deleted]

I'm getting a pair. Real ones. I'm not crafting a pair. Obviously.

[birdistheword]

I'm from the midwest and I love mouse flats AND casserole.

Casseroles are delicious.

She did a great job. I am, however, completely distracted by her nails.

Seems like a photo shoot with close-ups of your hands would provide a good enough reason to get a manicure.

I am from the midwest, enjoy some casseroles, and like these shoes. I do not go to church, though.

Have we covered all the possible variations of shoe and casserole stance vs. geography yet?

I would pay her a fee to make me a cheap pair. But me doing all of that work? No.

[wannabe]

I love casseroles.
