Creating Egyptian Sandals

Reflecting back to Egyptian era style and fashion, we decided to create our very own pair of Egyptian sandals. Taking inspiration from the cloths shoes and jewelry of the Egyptians. We first created our sandal structure by drawing around our shoes onto cardboard to make sure we had the exact shoe size for each student. From there we cut out those shapes and added our shoe structure on top, so they could be worn for fun.

Then it was onto painting, collage and drawing to make our personalized sandals stand out. Many of the students added gold paint and Egyptian symbols to replicate the historic style. Others made more contemporary designs by using beads and glitter. Overall a spectacularly fun lesson, allowing our little artists experience and learn about design and fashion.
