These I got with the idea of making them match the dress I've just made to make it a bit more casual than with my heeled shoes that go with it.
By drawing around measuring cups and then painting with fabric paint I came up with these.....
But this isnt just a hobby for adults, kids love it as well..
And with pumps only costing about £1.50p (thats how much these cost) its a cheap craft for them that will keep them entertained on wet or dry days.
To make it even cheaper I let them use acrylic or poster paints, they stain them quite nicely, as many a school jumper sleeve will prove.These are the shoes Kai (whose 3years old) altered himself.
Wow !!! I love yours and Kais' shoes.
ReplyDeleteI love the effect you have created by using the measuring cup ! and Kai will look fantastic in his designer shoes ;O)
Well Done on being so creative hunny, you have a pair of stunning shoes there... Move over Jimmy Choo ;o) Choccy xxx

ReplyDeleteBlimey I've missed a few of your posts! Do you know, my very first blog post was about painting some Vans shoes I had won with fabric paint? I still wear them now though they have been slightly chewed by Cooper - I loves them I do.
ReplyDeleteYours are amazing as are Kai's. I've seen similar graffiti'd type shoes like his and they aren't cheap - the boy is an artiste!
You have an award on my blog - I do hope you take up the challenge :P
