Want something crafty and quirky for your home? You a shoe lover? Why not a shoe canvas like the one pictured below.
To be honest, the first time I saw Julie Kirk’s canvas, I wanted to grab the blank canvas I’ve got stashed in our home office and create one for my bags. You know I love bags. Bags are my guilty pleasures. LOL
Here’s the list of materials used by Julie for this beautiful work of art:
- A 8″ x8″ [20cm x 20cm] box canvas
- Pages from an old diary & notebook
- acrylic paint with nail varnish dripped on top
- tulle, lace, ribbon, buttons
- vintage plastic flowers: EpochBeads.etsy.com
- Scalloped edge paper: Creative Imaginations
- bulldog clip holding a K&Co frame
- magnetic poetry words
- calendar block: home-made
- ‘I Love Shoes’ tag: East of India

Christine, This look absolutely fabulous. I have lots of shoes an always keep the boxes, but I use them for my hobby: knitting doll’s clothes. The boxes are the doll’s beds and a good place to store their clothes
