But you could always ask your Doll Observers family to help you out.   If I can ever help you buy/ship you something to Spain, let me know!  I've got a dear friend in the Netherlands I do this for all the time.  

Old handbags?!  Why didn't I think of that?  I've got tons!!

COOL!! Those are going to look AWESOME!!!

Fake leather, you say?  Let me hook you up once more, dolly Sister... check out Ebay seller http://www.ebay.com/usr/uptown-fabric.  You can buy "pleather" swatches from them for $1.25 each, in just about every color imaginable, plus free shipping.  A swatch is about 4"x5" I believe, plenty to make several pairs of shoes, and no need to spend money on yardage!!

Good luck, I can't wait to see the results!!

You're very welcome!!  IF (big, fat if haha) you can even find these on Ebay, they're like $3 for 2 buckles!!  If it helps you, the size I buy for my 16" girls shoes is 1/8".  But they have them even smaller, if you can imagine that...I'd go blind if I had to work with those for Barbie/FR-sized shoes.

Hihi, Lilly!  Oh, aren't they the greatest?!  I searched far and wide for 'em, too. It's a place called http://www.riorondo.com/.  They're SO nice!! And the prices are unbelievable.  They even have studs in 3mm size, if you can believe it.  

Happy shopping, my friend!
