I enjoyed making the first pair so much I hauled off to Wal-Mart to by more shoes....and more paint colors...and some "bling"...and some stencils...and some other stuff.
Unfortunately they only had 2 pair of shoes left in her size....ugh! The misery. lol
I was going to go a size up- we all know kids grow faster than we blink so I figured she'd be able to wear them in no time....nope- they were sold out of those also.
So I was stuck with just 2 pair to paint last night.
I got home and pulled out a few of her shirts I had bought and I realized one of the shirts had animal prints....and I had just bought animal print stencils.....SCORE!!
Yes, I cheated on these shoes and used stencils but I think they're cute.
As usual I started with a "blank" pair of shoes.
Here's the shirt I wanted the shoes to match. Thanks to Old Navy for a good 4th of July sale I only paid $4 for this shirt....another SCORE!
I taped the stencil to the front part of the shoes and started coloring in. I didn't have a turquoise color (wish I did....now that is on my list of needed colors. So I just used a regular green. The stencil didn't fit all the way around for the sides so once I was finished with the front half I just placed and hand-held the stencil on the sides and painted it in.
I used a zebra print for the sides and back. The shirt shows a yellow zebra print but the yellow wouldn't stand out on the white shoes so I used pink. I just kept with the color of the shirt and I think it turned out pretty good.
I then outlined the stitching with a pink and yellow marker.
Here's the shoes matching the shirt.
I think it looks pretty good....coming from a MeMe who likes to do things CHEAP.
My granddaughter is in love with these shoes <3
But I think at 4, she likes anything MeMe makes for her.
