RIKKU'S THIEF'S SHOES

Needed material:
- Pair of Boots in Leather
- Acrylic Color Spray
- White Silk Ribbon
-Yellow shoeslaces
- Eyelets

EXSAMPLE PIC:


Procedure
For the shoes use a pair of boots in leather, cut the upper part vertically to triangle.
Then glue another piece of leather under the triangle, so the triangle stay open.
Then take some acrylic color (blue and white) and paint the boots, to avoid that the colors mixing you can use paper tape to divide the parts.
First you give the blue and then the white.
Now you put the eyelets on the back of the boots, and then you put in the
eyelet the yellow shoelaces.
Now you take some silk white ribbon and with glue you make the decoration on the border of the boots.
This is probably the easiest method.

(I'm making mine from scratch)

RIKKU'S THIEF'S HAIR BAND

Needed material:

-  A White Hair Band or Flexible Cloth.
- Blue Color for Batik

Procedure:

You can take a large hair band color with or make it with flexible cloth (remember don't use the lycra, because it don't absorb the batik color, is better a flexible cotton).
Making a hair band is really simple, cut a long strip the two ways the right size.
Now fold  it in two, and sew it in the border, to leave a border open.
Now turn over it and close also the last open border (remember to close it with the border inside, like the other bordres).
Then sew the two extremities together.

Now whe you have the hair band ready, prepare  the color for batik and dye it with many baths to create a soften.

(i bought my hair band from Claire's)

Needed material:

-  A pair of gloves in leather color bordeaux or dark brown in alternative leather in these color.

Procedure:

My advice is to buy a pair of gloves in leather color bordeaux (is better) or dark brown, then to cut the finger in the middle.
Now with a cotton  thread of the right color sew and stop the stitchs cut, so the gloves won't break.

In alternative if you don't find a gloves you can do them with leather, you take the model of another pairs of gloves.

I advice you to don't use the faux leather, because will make sweat the hands, and is more likely that it break with the hot.
