Daily DIY: Make Your Own Viking Shoes

shoes, viking, leather



These could possibly be the cutest shoes I've never owned. But don't worry --- I'm fixing that. Earth and Living attempted a tutorial for these cuties last year, and I thought the pair would be perfect for fall weather. Naturally, the year got ahead of me and here I am, craving the pair yet again. It's time I get down to business, don't you think?

I love that Earth and Living attempted to re-create the look with no prior knowledge of how the shoe was made or a pattern to work from. What a braveheart! The result is gorgeous and soooo beautifully crafted. Here's what you need:

  • Good piece of leather between 2.5 - 3 mm thick.
  • Ruler
  • Pencil and pen
  • Xacto knife
  • Leather hole puncher
  • String or hemp
That's it! Follow the pattern provided (along with a separate tutorial for the heel) and add a bit of creativity where you'd like. After all, they're your shoes for the wearing!

Enjoy!
