baby boy trainer bootee and box |
The box is easily assembled by cutting, adding acetate to the lid aperture, then gluing. Punch the holes for the laces in the tongue. The bootee is a wee bit more tricky in that you need more than two hands to attach the upper to the insole, as there are umpteen little tabs to be glued!
We all tried different methods of gluing - double-sided tape, gluestick, PVA, magic tape. My preferred method is to use really strong red double-sided tape (takes no prisoners!) to centre the middle tab onto the insole; then gradually work my way round the tabs, with your choice of glue, till the heel join is reached where adjustment can be made; fix on the finger tab, then stick on the sole. Position the tongue and lace the bootee with ribbon, adding the decorations there if wanted (or else place on the box lid).
It was definitely an exercise in having genius hands!
