To add to my funky 1960-70's outfit look, I chose to hot glue a couple pony beads to the bottom for heels,
Barbie says she loves the open circle heel-very cool looking!
Ha-Does this pic kinda remind anyone else of the movie Pretty Woman?😉

- For sanity's sake, choose a doll that has hard plastic legs and not rubbery legs (and yes ~you~ will most likely have to put the boots on the doll).
- Try to stretch the balloon up the legs, don't roll it up. You want the band to stay as thin as possible on the top.
- If adding a heel, choose anything you think would work, I like the idea of hot gluing on a bead.
- Would I expect to be able to reuse these boots? Not really, they'd be fun for a photo shoot, or for girl play for a while. When she wants to change the look of her doll, simply roll the balloons off and toss. You can always peel the bead off first for re-use.
- I did try the balloons on skinny feet that are made for heeled shoes (like this doll) and on the wider flat footed dolls. They are fine with both. Did I try to fit a shoe over the balloon? No, I think that might not work.
Once again, not haute couture, just a fun little idea to add an inexpensive accessory to doll play.
