Baby Bootie/Shoe Mould and Former

Description

Baby Bootie/Shoe Mould and Former:  One mould, two designs of  cute Baby Bootie/Shoe and countless options for customising!

A unique, new to the market cute hand crocheted Baby Bootie/Shoe mould and Former designed for use with each other.  Use for left and right feet.

Former:  Developed with our friends at Flo 3D Cutters to make our Baby Bootie/Shoes with ease.  No more need for scrunched up tissue or rolls of fondant to try to shape your Baby Booties, the Former does it for you!  This is designed and sized to be used with our Baby Bootie/Shoe mould.

The Baby Bootie/Shoe and Former can be used to make a variety of different Baby Booties/Shoes for different themes, as shown in the product images.

Miriam Pearson from http://www.sweetcreations.ie/  has made the cute Christmas themed booties and stocks the mould and former (and other bits).  She used her own brand flower paste in the moulds to great effect!

Use the textured pieces to create your bootie/shoe or use them inside out for a smooth outer.  You can also texture the smooth outer once you’ve filled the mould, using one of our texture mats, which can be found here:  https://www.theoldpipingbag.co.uk/texture-mats/
