How YOU Can Make MINIATURE MOCCASINS!!!

Complete, clear instructions on how to easily make the foot portion of miniature moccasins, perfect for decoration and gifting. Taught by Nikeeya, an Indigenous Dene elder, once you know how to do this you can add fancy ankle pieces to construct your own miniature mukluks, crow boots and wrap-arounds. Or you can just sew on some straud or melton cloth trim to have regular moccasins. Following these instructions you will discover it is simple and satisfying, making these distinctive crafts that you can take pride in.
