Assembly:
First, use a needle to sew button to center of Eye and then sew on to front center of boot. If you’re concerned about buttons being a choking hazard, substitute buttons with black yarn and make 2 small dots following the Orange Small Dots instructions. Next, sew on the heel spike, and then the orange dots. You can place the dots wherever you like.
Lastly, if you would like the top of your boot to be fuzzy, use the scratchy part of a piece of Velcro to gently brush the yarn. This pulls the fibers and gives your Monster Boots the fuzzy look.
For children that are walking the boots can be slippery on hard floors. To prevent slipping I recommend using a hot glue gun or puffy paint to make a design on the bottom of the boot. This will add a little bit of traction.
