One of the gifts I gave to my Activity Day Girls at our I Scream You Scream Witch Halloween Party were these cute Oreo Witch Shoes.
I had originally seen the idea over at Quilt Taffy who had made Oreo Elf Shoes. I pinned the idea thinking some year they would be a fun Christmas gift for my neighbors. Then I saw that my friend Kristi had shared a witch shoe version over at Dairy of Dave’s Wife. I changed the pattern up a bit to make my own version of Oreo Witch Shoes. I thought it would be a darling handout for the witch themed Halloween party.
The Oreo Witch Shoes also made cute decor on the table. As I shared in yesterday’s full party post I wanted to the girls to leave the party with an important message. I used the Wizard of Oz as my analogy and loved the quote from Glinda the Good Witch, “You had the Power all along my dear.” I asked my ever talented friend Lindi from Love the Day to create the printable tag for the oreo witch shoes. For more information on the message I shared go to yesterday’s post.
Today I’ll share with you how I made the cute Oreo Witch Shoes!
You can download the witch shoe pattern
Supplies needed:
black posterboard, clear cellophane, ribbon, double sided adhesive and of course Oreos. For adhesive I used one I got at Michaels that was made by Elmers. It is clear so it doesn’t show through the cellophane. I used 8-9 oreos per leg. If you use double stuffed you won’t need as many. I used a combo of the mint, regular and Halloween Oreos.
The process is fairly easy:
Trace shoe pattern onto card stock and cut out.
Cut a piece of cellophane approx. 8 x 10 and place 8-9 cookies in the center.
Run a line of clear adhesive down the side.
Roll cookies up into cellophane so that adhesive keeps the sleeve of cookies closed.
Leave enough cellophane up top to tie off with ribbon. Leave an inch or two on the bottom and close up the bottom with tape.
Tie top with ribbon and add tag.
Apply adhesive to the inside of the shoe along the toe area and bottom of toe area. Fold shoe in half.
Insert sleeve of cookies into the heel area of shoe and punch a hole as close to the sleeve of cookies as you can get and tie closed with ribbon.
You can add adhesive to the inside of the heel area also to help hold up the sleeve of cookies.
They would make a fun neighbor gift for the holiday too! I think the tag though is my favorite part.

Hi Leigh!
What kind of adhesive did you use? Where did you purchase it at? I am making these for our customers this year. 🙂 This is the cutest idea ever!
This is the cutest idea! I love it! I couldn’t get the tags to download or print. When I saved it, it jut came up coding when I tried to print it. Can you help? Would love to make these for my girlfriends as we have a Witches Brew every year.
Do you have Adobe Acrobat on your computer (it’s pretty standard) You will need that in order to print it.
These are so adorable and I love the message! I was wondering if you can tell me what it says on the Elmer label. I almost bought the clear glue but didn’t think it was the right one. Also, what percent should I print the boots and tags? My computer downloaded them oversized. Or what are the actual dimensions? I had to shrink them a little.
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful ideas.
Rosemary
Could you share which size of cello bags that you used?
Thanks!
Stephanie, In the directions I explain how I did it. I did not use a cello bag, I cut sheets of cellophane and wrapped it around the Oreos. Check out the post for more details.
A co-worker just brought these in for all of us and they are TERRIFIC! What a joyful treat. Thanks for sharing!
What a nice co-worker you have! Glad you liked them.
Wow…..these are so so cute! I love this idea!!! So fun and so festive for Halloween!
Thanks Michelle – they are so fun to make!
Oh my heck!!! These are adorable!!! Thanks so much for sharing. Cant wait to get started putting these together.
Leigh Anne, What a fun, cool party. Your shoes are great. They are fun to make for all sorts of things. Love that tag, thanks to you & Lindi for sharing it. I made some Wizard of Oz ruby slipper Oreo ones, that tag would have been perfect. Happy Halloween!
Thanks for the inspiration!!
Thanks! for sharing this CUTE AND SPECTACULAR idea. I was able to download the Witch shoe pattern, but couldn’t edit the tag.
Millie, The tag is not editable. Sorry.
What size round puncher did you use?
I actually didn’t use a round punch, I used a circle cutter that I had purchased from Creative Memories years ago.
Such a cute idea!
I’m from KS, this is a great pin for my “Wizard of Oz” board!
I love that you have a Wizard of Oz board!! Glad you liked the idea.
These are so darling! Using them this Halloween as gifts! Thanks for sharing you talents! Pinned!
Thank you Amy and thanks for pinning it and sharing it with others.
Oh my…these are so cute!!! I love them!!
Thanks Crystal. I’m loving the cuteness factor too!
Leigh Ann, these are so adorable! Thanks for the tutorial and template. Pinning!
Also, I’d like to invite you to a Retro Re-Pin Party starting tonight at 8 p.m. ET. Here you share an old pin (or a new one if you want).

Thanks Julie!
Cutest thing ever! and love the message.
Jeanne, thanks girl! The girls loved them – the cookies and the message.
LOVE IT!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!
I can’t wait to make these. I’m actually going to make a bunch to give out to some of the patients that go to Physical Therapy with my husband. Most of this group have had major strokes or TBI’s, they all work so hard just to do anything. I think the quote on the tag and the message behind it fits these folks as well.
Ellen, what a wonderful gift to give to the patients and to share the message that we do all have the power! Such a thoughtful thing to do.
Gracias esta lindo solo k lo tendrá en español para mis maestras visitantes? gracias 🙂
I couldn’t see the tag either. I want to make for my Visiting Teachers. Such a cute idea
Nancy, It is there now. Perfect gift for your VT’s! They will love you.
Nancy, The post is updated now and the tag is there.
This is such a wonderful idea. Thank you so much for sharing. I was wondering if you had the tag to attach to the witches Oreo treat? I went to the website that you had posted of the person who helped you do accessories for your party, but I couldn’t find the tag. Thank you!
You can download the tag from my post – just scroll down. I had forgot to add it but it is there now.
Thank you so much for sharing such a wonderful idea and the tags!
Thank you Tish. Loved making them and sharing them.
SO cute! And your message was/is AWESOME! Thank you! We are going to “boo” some kids in the neighborhood and this would be DARLING! I was able to download the shoe, but couldn’t find the “tag”. (Am I just not seeing it?) Again thank you for sharing your message about the Wizard of Oz story…
Thanks so much – the tag is there now. Sorry about that. Somehow it didn’t save to the post. Havefun Booing your neighbors.
