I mustache you a question!

What do you think of these cuties?
Made from a old pair of heels that the pattern on them had gotten wrecked and a roll of mustache ducktape. Probably more suited for mustache movember,  but I think I'll be wearing them out this summer! 
They were super easy to put together and now with duck tape offering so many cool patterns its a great way to spice up your shoes! 
Happy crafting!

Harry Potter Shoes

Last night I was in possession of a Harry Potter Sticker Book ($2 at local dollarstore), a pair of sadly plain heels, and mod podge... so what did I do?

I made these babies...







At the time these were taken, they still needed some sealer on them (mod podge is sadly not waterproof... at least not the stuff I have)

Compared to my Batman themed shoes Here, the stickers made it much easier to work with then the paper. I placed the base/edge stickers on first then covered everything in a layer of Podge. Once that was dry I went on to use my favourite stickers to create the rest of the design. Once I was happy with that it got two coats of Podge and once that sets for 24 hours a sealer will be following ontop of it.

Happy Crafting <3

Batman Shoes (DIY)

So while being sick over a wintry holiday, I was googling all sorts of fun projects to do once I was feeling better. One of these was DoItYourself shoes.

So after finding about all the wonderful uses of ModgePodge, comic books and highheels I have ventured out to try my own.

Instead of cutting up my favourite comic books, I printed off images from the internet. They worked wonderfully well actually. Just as well as magazine cut outs. (I had the Cineplex one about Batman) So armed with a sponge brush, ModgePodge and a Ex-Acto knife I set to work.

Several hours later I have finished with my creation.

BAT SHOES...
some of the photos were taken while in progress, and the others still have glue drying on them.

But I adore these. Especially for a first try. Next project Potter or Doctor Who themed shoes.
