Christmas Tree theme Cobbler's Shoe Shop

Judy Grecco
by Judy Grecco
I have to decorate an artificial lighted christmas tree for a Festival of Trees and someone will win it. It will be displayed in a vintage Cobblers Shop and I am looking for some type of "Cobbler themed" ornament that I can make inexpensively as I do not want to buy any them. Maybe some type of shoe any suggestions ?

    Google the Elves and the shoemaker books and look at the pictures. Elves, shoes and rag bows would be cute. Shoes can be made from small blocks of wood sanded on the toe area and around the heel. Insert an eye to hand with either shoe laces, twine, or more rag scrap. How big is the tree? Can it be a smaller tree on a workbench type setting where small hammers and leather scrap can litter the table around the tree?

    Oh Elves and the Shoemaker books, sounds good, thanks, knew someone would have ideas, will try them out and the shoes, rag scraps. It will be in a cobblers shop, tree can be any size. Like the idea of littering around it, will look for elves too. Great ideas!
