Would you be mad if I said this is the slightest bit creepy? No harm intended!

Not mad at all but why do you find them creepy?

This is definitely one of my favorite projects.
A couple years ago I made a white and pink glittered up pair of these Barbie shoe earrings and I always get a ton of compliments! Hardly anyone believes that I made them.
(you're exactly right about it being tricky to get the nail through, I've split many shoes that way!)

Ive made a pair of purple earrings like this and everyone asks me where I got them from Happy

I think I just shoved a sharp needle or a pin into the shoe to make the hole, but it takes a bit longer

Hi Cat thought you might like a picture of the shoe earrings I made. I also stole a radio and made a necklace!!
Oh and my tip for making the hole in the show was to get a pin and then push it inti a pin board ... always works!!

Gosh, you could do this with ANY of Barbie's accessories...

I've made these before too. The easiest way to pierce the shoes is to use imitation barbie shoes instead. The cheaper generic dolls have much thinner shoes, and you can simply poke them with a regular (not necessarily heated) pin. This would be especially good for the Dorothy shoes since they're gonna be covered up anyway.

Cute! ^_^ Another way you could make the hole is by heating a pin up over a candle (hold it with pliers as it gets hot!)and push it through. Me and my sister used to do it this way when we made plectrum jewellery.

Ahhh I remember my first pair of barbie shoe earrings. I was just about to put this on my site actually. I'm diggin' the color! If somebody doesn't have a small drill; a hot needle, pliers, and a candle works perfectly for making the hole in the heel. =)

love it!
