Making Myself Ruby Slippers! | DIY Wizard of Oz Dorothy Ruby Slipper Shoes

[@aylacrissman3443]

I cannot tell you how obsessed I was with The Wizard of Oz as a child. I had a Dorthy dress and ruby red shoes and wore it as an outfit at least once a week for about 2 years. I even had my mom do my hair in pigtails when I wore the outfit.

[@RazorRevenge]

Me too. It was my favorite movie as a child. My grandmother actually recorded it 3 times on one VHS so I wouldn’t have to keep rewinding it. She made me Dorothy’s dress by hand and I wore that dress out. Don’t know what happened to it, probably got thrown out because it was stained, faded, had holes. God I loved The Wizard of Oz 💚 Have you seen/ heard of Wicked? I really enjoy that too. You should also check out the Dorothy Must Die book series if you need more Land Of Oz in your life.

[@BaileyWhite-l9o]

I understand aswell I loved the munchkins and the song Ding dong the witch is dead if you go on KZbin and search up DDa instrumentals you should see the wizard of Oz tracks with no vocals from the 1939 original

[@BaileyWhite-l9o]

I understand

[@CakeKnife707]

​@@BaileyWhite-l9oI was so obsessed with the Wizard of Oz I know every lyrics in every song in the movie🩵

I was a costumer for a local theater that did Wizard of Oz, I use sequined knit fabric and used fabric glue. It worked great

[@skotmiller8465]

Back in the 80's, I was a Professional Drag Queen( not like the over made-up Queens of today), and I had a pair of these made for me. They were size 12 1/2 and cost me $350.00! but, they fit perfect and I wore them for many performances. I didn't "do" Dorothy, just liked them since childhood and had them made to go with a red gown that was mostly sequins. It had a small train and went over BIG! The Wizard Of Oz was and still is my favorite movie. You did a terrific job on these.

[@brookrose3023]

1930’s shoe shapes are so unique and you did a great job! Now I can see why they were so magical❤️❤️❤️ Now to try not to make my own😅

[@HeatherHunterJ]

Totally thinking about making some now too 🥰

[@zakkattack007]

Last year I made my own ruby shoes. I ended up going the glitter route. Warning about that, the shoes end up very rough and stiff. Great job! Loved them!

[@sugarcubefam]

Yes Dorthy!!!! Edit: sending this to my BFF! She loves Dorthy!

[@Stanley-i4h]

You should be proud, you did an amazing job. I’ve been a costumer for many years and think your ruby slippers are excellent.

[@princessjupiter922]

I don't know if you know this but, there are blueprints for the Ruby Slippers with a simple Google search. I'm glad that you watched the movie and even went to see the shoes in person. The blueprints did survive the fire that MGM had years ago which is where some stuff was destroyed. Also the soles of the shoes are also red. Ive seen a video where you can mix modge podge with your paint and you can make it stay instead of it chipping away...I found that out the hard way when I made mine lol.

[@_alexandra.louise_]

Yes, I showed the blueprints in the video :))

[@oscardiggs1948]

A great homage to a wonderful story and movie. Congratulations!!!

[@ChocoLove_Draws]

I love the Wizard of Oz,and was hoping someone would do a tutorial of how to make a pair ruby slippers, you did a very good job thank you so much💖

[@BCthing]

Wow - even without the big rectangle beads those are still really spot on! Can't wait to see what you make to go with them, your dog is a perfect Toto!

[@computeyjoe1]

I would love to see the Dorothy dress as a ballgown

[@sweetsnejinka9411]

Ooh, yes

[@JackketKnightmare]

Fantastic idea!

[@brt5273]

That would be interesting

[@marymiller8370]

Wonderful project. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Love your joy in life.

[@vidhoard]

You literally inspired me to pick up my sewing machine for the first time in over 2 years. I tried one sewing project with it and gave up until I saw your videos. :)

[@patriciaerving1071]

That took time and patience, and you did a great job! 👍🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@amandarobbins1314]

I like them they're cute, and they are very close. Seeing them with the Dorothy dress (or a ball gown) would be awesome!

[@jls4382]

Brava!!!! Well done indeed! You should be proud!

[@Rubyfox3-cp6io]

i was dorothy last year and made the ruby slippers using your video,im making them againt this year bc my dos chewed them,your awsome and thank you!!!

[@fabulousroy]

Words can not describe how much I love and always have loved the wizard of oz, and it is impossible to count how many times I've seen it. Can't wait to watch you make the shoes from the movie that made my life WAIT I JUST REALIZED IM WEARING AN OZ SHIRT AND RUBY SLIPPER NECKLACE WHILE WATCHING THIS I-

[@Justice237]

Fun fact: apparently the costume department on the original movie used bugle beads to simulate rubies but they were too heavy so they were replaced with sequins!

[@cheuini]

And that pair was known as the Arabian pair, whom Debbie Reynolds herself adored so much she became the owner. I'm so curious to know what happened to them after her passing 😭

[@n.k.7208]

@@cheuiniActually the Arabian test pair is different from the bugle bead pair. The bugle bead pair are the same shape as the movie version just minus bows and, of course, using bugle beads. They were never found post production.

[@shariwelch8760]

Super cute project! Good job.

[@bronteanstiss6878]

I found this channel a couple weeks ago and I am truly Amazed at the beautiful designs she comes up with Alexandra if you are reading this you are fantastic!

[@tiffanysepiphanies]

I LOVE watching your videos! I love how you take our childhood favorites and make them come to life! 💗

[@amystreasuresdesign]

The shoes look great, good job. You could easily wear them anywhere, to be honest. I have had beaded dress shoes that I wore to weddings and semi formal parties. As long as you have a dress that they go with, you can wear them to anything.

[@francyhedera]

Yours is not a simple project, but created a work of extraordinary workmanship, you managed to recreate the same magic of the original shoes, congratulations❤

[@Princess_Hook]

They came out beautiful

[@sewlittlemouse6365]

I live in a small town that does not really any stores. One mom &pop grocery store and two gas stations. We have to go to the next town for any “real” shopping. It’s frustrating at times but at times it’s like a special day when we get to the larger towns.

[@desireea.thomas2419]

They turned off Beautiful Honey. Great job 🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼🥳🎉👏🏼

[@ryanerard9238]

Well done!! Love how you made the stones you already had work. They look perfect!

[@CherrysLife35020]

Fantastic job . love them

[@AngelavengerL]

Always love seeing your kitty helpers. So cute! The shoes are gorgeous. I think every costume version I've seen have been glitter. The sequins look so much better!

[@hurphenelondwil2419]

Second comment from me today. You are just so young with so much talent, your future is bright.

[@ronperry1239]

Great job! I've been recreating the slippers as a hobby for years . I sew the sequins by hand and make my own rectangular rubies, use antique rhinestones, and occasionally find Era correct base shoes. Just seeing young people still attempting the recreation is thrilling! My first pair was hideous, so continue keeping the shoes ALIVE !

[@cb9825]

Do you wear you slippers for special occasions or are they mainly for display/room decoration purposes?❤️

[@ronperry1239]

@@cb9825 mine are for display, but have made some for school productions..

[@Catsface99]

WOW! You did a marvelous job!! I've been trying to figure out how to make those ruby red slippers and you showed me!! Thanks! You are very creative!

[@orangemarissa50]

They look amazing 👏 😍

[@susanfantozzi4415]

Those came out nice. Great job!

[@gkienenb]

Me and my sister love you channel so much

[@Chowah]

Great job! I made my own pair years ago too just the way U did! They are on display and I love them

[@marinalollipop7187]

Waw so pretty! They turned out perfect ❤️ can't wait to see see the dress

[@centurycountess4949]

The completed recreation was beautiful and spot on! Also a big thank you for this video. As big as my feet are it's not easy finding a shoe that's the color or style so this is a great alternative method to make my own pair of dream shoes to go with a costume.

[@ramonasmith257]

Great job! They’re beautiful!

[@KatieCochran]

Very cute! I love how you added your own personal touch to the bows. :) You can wear them wherever you’d like. They look great with jeans! :)

[@v_casserole]

It’s absolutely gorgeous!❤️❤️

[@makaylahaverluk667]

Dang! They turned out so good! Nice job!!!

[@beccazelley]

I just went to wicked last week! This is so amazing!

[@k_tubbs]

I'm kind of suprised you didn't make a shoe cover from sequin fabric and attach it. that was my first thought. but honestly my way sounds like it could be more tricky. and yours came out great!

[@cb9825]

I would do the same😆

[@johnruth2668]

Congratulations! Your Ruby Slippers are beautiful. You did a great job. I think you did a good job with your research, did you know the Smithsonian just spent over a year, restoring the pair they own, and you can see parts of the restoation on You Tube. The sequins are in bias rows around the shoes, whitch gives more round shape to the look. There is nothing wrong with using glue, you just have to be careful not to get glue everywhere. Who has time to sew each sequin one at a time? The fact you can wear yours is an added bouns. By the way, your sewing skills are amazing!

[@claireschonhofer4965]

They look fabulous:-) 👍🏻👍🏻

[@brookedowd7747]

THIS IS SOOO COOL!! it honestly fills ME with so much joy!! i love the film and i would buy the ones they had at walmart to go w my dorothy dress for halloween (i was her at least twice as a child) ANYWAYS THEYRE AMAZING!! WAY TO GO!!

[@mkoury83]

Fun Fact: In the book version of Dorothy's slippers were silver.

my wizard of oz obsession from 2nd grade is coming back

[@MakeupMobster]

These came out awesome!

[@vegassims7]

AWESOME job. wow.

[@princess.desire]

I need to make these!!!

[@anthonypay2187]

Love Oz more than any thing. I made the shoes for me. Love that movie

[@devanireneeortman]

I love those red slippers

[@Edu_dsj]

it would be nice if these sequins were the ones that change color when passed, the other color would be silver to be the book version and the movie version

[@JackketKnightmare]

I'm also doing a version and the sequin material I got is reversible silver. 😅

[@kimmies1984]

Amazing ❤

[@scottkane5621]

Amazing Job!

[@toriladybird511]

I own a pair of ruby "slippers" but flats not heels.. I love them so much.

[@jennglow4647]

Very pretty 😀

[@julienielsen3746]

I remember in the early 1980s sequined high heels were fashionable. I saw a lot of red ones in stores.

[@tetliusakatsuki6415]

The shoes brand company:wait ...that's illegal .. Lol your dress are all so beautiful ❤️I love em

[@rachel_espinoza]

You would make a great Dorothy!

[@sydneykelly8507]

i love the shoes

[@SG_LOVE]

I think that you make them better than the original ones

[@teshi1424]

Well done

[@cheleseaboone8549]

Gonna be honest, when I saw the DIY on this video, I thought you were about to go all the way old school with it and hand sew each sequin onto it! I think gluing would make the process go a lot faster so I see why you did it that way.

[@aa329809]

Me: huh didn't I just watch someone make Ruby slippers on Instagram they look identical Also me: shoot it's the same person

[@tammyparney2179]

I was thinking that Shoe Goo might be a good option for attaching the sequins. Great work!

[@carmensalome]

Great job!

[@arlynenawrot2885]

I bought a Dorothy outfit for Halloween, and made my own ruby red slippers- yes, I bought a cheap pair of heels and used spray adhesive with the red glitter... Everyone loved the outfit and shoes...but most of all I had fun...

[@tammerahanes1792]

Thats All That Matters is That Your Pleased With Your Work!

[@garyt5582]

Good job!

[@Edu_dsj]

I should make the shoes to decorate my room

[@beccagregory3586]

I was obsessed with this movie as a child, I had the dress, the ruby slippers (red sparkly shoes), the basket and Toto I wouldn't just watch this movie I would act this movie

[@kamencj]

Nice job! Though if I may I think on the og shoes they added some thick pads on the toe section ad to me they look a bit lower than the og shoes

[@melchiorlise2466]

My dream as a child was to own ruby shoes !
