Time to break out the summer shoes…

…which are exactly like my winter shoes, except they’re painted!
I’m not much for buying new shoes. In fact, I tend to wear the same pair of sandals all year, even in the snow. When they get worn out, I do buy a new pair (the exact same style…aren’t I exciting?), but I can’t stand to just throw out the old pair.
So I usually paint them.
“The Owl & the Pussycat” Shoes
Oh, I have no problem throwing out old shoes lol… but my 26 year old daughter still owns her first pair of cowbow boots. No way that they would fit, but it’s a nostalgia thing I guess.
Do love your decorated sandals though. Love the touch of “story telling” on each. But I would have to stop you long enough to read what it says!! That has to happen a lot!!
I’ve never seen anything quite so funny as having half a dozen women crouched down reading my shoes… LOL!!
Love ‘em! What kind of paint do you use?
Hi Carol! I use both Jaquard’s and Golden’s acrylics. Any acrylics will work fine, but I like these two brands because they both have a really high percentage of pigment. I recommend heat setting the paints
