"Hi. I am Judy from Expert Village.com, and I'm excited to be here to show you how to take an ordinary slipper like this either in black or another colors and make it a real special gift for yourself or your best pal. What I like to do is take flowers like this artificial silk flowers any might have them around and as long as you have two of them you can make a beautiful slipper. Ok, not everyone has a Hong like I do but this girl is, we always, we voted her the one person in this company that we could not live without. Now if you want to add something a little different to a shoe or a slipper. You can make these little ribbon rosettes. She measures the ribbon, measures the ribbon. Then she by hand does a basing stitch and then pulls it into a little rosette. Then stitches the back and then adds again the crystal center and there you have a darling little adornment. Put two or three on a slipper and those are unique and feminine and pretty."
