How to make booties from mastic

Mastic booties are a great option for decorating a cake. A cake decorated with masticized booties, a dummy and a stroller will be an excellent decoration of a festive table for the birthday of your baby.

Pick your recipe

To create booties from mastic you will need:

- finished mastic;

- food colorings;

- food glue;

- cardboard;

- a pencil;

- scissors.

Draw on the cardboard shapes that are shown in the photo (you can draw them “by eye”).
Use sharp scissors to cut them.
Divide the mastic into two parts. Leave one part as it is, and color the other with food color pink. Roll the pink mastic into a layer with a thickness of about five millimeters, put the cut patterns on it and use a sharp knife to carefully cut the workpieces. It is worth noting that it is necessary to use an exceptionally sharp knife to prevent stretching the mastic.
Take a regular toothpick (if there are no special mastic tools) and make holes along the edge of a larger mastic blank, trying to make the distance between them the same.
Take the mastic blank-sole and the blank top of the booties, glue them with food glue. There are marks on the templates; when cutting parts, these points must be noted, and when gluing them, they must be combined.
Create a second bootie in the same way.
Roll out a small piece of pink mastic, put a pattern in the shape of a bear on it and cut out a figure. In the same way, make a second same figure.
Roll mastic of natural beige color into a layer five millimeters thick and cut four circles. Two circles with a diameter equal to the diameter of the head of a figure in the shape of a bear, two circles - to the diameter of the ears of a figure in the shape of a bear. Cut the smaller circles in half and glue the cubs to the ears, first place the large circles exactly on the faces of the bears, then gently slide them a little down. Trim the excess mastic.
From pink mastic, roll up two tiny pea-sized balls in your hands.
Place the resulting balls on the faces of the bears, shape them noses. Carefully make eyes with a toothpick and color them black.
Glue the resulting figures to the front of the booties.
Roll four small balls with a diameter slightly larger than a pea from mastic of beige and pink. Take two beige balls with your fingers, put pink balls on the resulting "cakes" and slightly press them down. Toothpick on the resulting figures, make two holes. As a result, you should get details that look like buttons.
Attach the resulting “buttons” to the booties on the side, simulating the fastened straps.
Booties from mastic are ready. Thus, you can create booties of any color and with any application on the front of the product.
