If you're looking to make some unique footwear from paper mache, this video will teach you how. The term for these shoes is hooves, and they will definitely turn heads as you wear them down the street.

It doesn't have to be Draenei, obviously this can be modified to any design you wish to tamper with.

PVA glue

Newspaper
