Only difference between Ashley's pair and mine? Instead of using fabric, I used wrapping paper. If you plan to do this project with paper, I have a few suggestions:
- Because the wrapping paper isn't as pliable as fabric, use smaller pieces to cover the shoe. One to cover the toe, sides, strap and heel. Don't worry about seeing each piece, the paper's pattern hides the edges. It all blends together.
- After the shoe is covered with paper, coat with several layers of Mod Podge.
- Let the Mod Podge dry completely first before using an exacto knife to cut the excess off around the sole of your shoe. The paper will peel off leaving a thin layer of glue that is easily rubbed off with a damp wash cloth.
- (Optional) After I had trimmed my edges I sprayed the shoes with two coats of Krylon Crystal Clear Glaze which made them super shiny.

ReplyDeleteAren't you clever! I love them.
ReplyDeleteI cannot believe you mod podged your shoes...that is AMAZING!!! Love it!!
ReplyDeleteoh my GOD these are beautiful! Have they held up??
ReplyDeleteThey have held up pretty well, but along the areas that bend they have cracked a little. Nothing another coat of Mod Podge didn't solve though :)
ReplyDeleteI love how your shoes turned out. I Mod Podged the toes of my little girls shoes to cover up the scuffs. After reading your post I may have to try a pair for myself. :)
