Instructions
Lay out a leg of old jeans, and spread it flat. Starting at the leg seam of the jeans, measure out a rectangle that is 3 inches by 5 inches. Mark with a pen. This size will fit a 15-pound puppy---add or subtract 1 inch, depending on the breed and size of your puppy. Err on the larger size, since puppies will only grow bigger. You want her to have plenty of room for her paw.
Cut the rectangle out of your jeans. Turn the right sides facing each other, and sew up the long edges. Turn the rectangle inside out. This is the denim pocket that will be your puppy shoe.
Measure around your puppy's ankle, and add 1 inch. Cut your hook and loop fastener (Velcro) to match this length.
Sew the hook and loop fastener (Velcro) around the open top of the shoe.
Try it on your puppy's foot. Fasten snugly, while still leaving room for blood to circulate to the paw. See how your puppy walks on his new shoe.
