Step by Step Assembly Instructions:

Step 1.
Begin by placing small strips of adhesive to the tabs on the upper section of the baby shoe die cut.

Step 2.
Gently fold all tabs to the back at their crease.

Step 3.
If using Killer Red Tacky Tape, or similar product, remove the red backing from the only tab that is on the end of the die cut and not in line with the remaining tabs. Then wrap the die cut around until both ends meet up at this tab. The die cut should form an elipitical shape. Press to secure in place.

Step 4.
If you lay the two soles so that one is resting atop of the other, you will notice that one is slightly smaller than the other. You want to take the smaller of the two soles and slip it into the shoe so that it is resting on the tabs. If using one sided card stock, be sure that the patterned side is facing up and not towards the bottom of the shoe.

Step 5.
Next, you will want to remove the remaining bits of red backing from your Killer Red Tape.

Then place the bottom sole upon the longest tab which is on the opposite side of the seam. If using one sided card stock, be sure that the patterned side is now facing out so that when the shoe is finished you see the pattern or color of the paper used.

Now you can finish securing the bottom sole to the remaining tabs. Be sure to press firmly in place from both the inside and outside of the baby shoe.
