Mod Podged shoes.


I've never featured two bloggers in a post at the same time, but I'm feeling wild and crazy today. Crazy is a good adjective actually, because Mod Podged shoes prove to me that NOTHING is too crazy to Mod Podge. Except maybe a baby diaper. Or a plant. Or your pug (no, I haven't tried it).

As far as the projects, the first pair you see above is by Erika at Oops! I Craft My Pants - visit her entry here. The second pair is by Ashley at Make It and Love It - her tutorial is here. Now you know not to throw away those old shoes. Mod Podge them!

I had seen the first ones before (adorable!), but not the second ones (equally adorable!). Super creative idea... Have a good day Amy!

I admit, I love doing shoes also.
Paper doesnt work well, but fabric is easy!

I am glad I found you-people as crazy about glue as I am!

First, the name of Erika's blog is hilarious! Second, I NEVER would have thought of doing shoes. Man oh man! You never fail to bring us the goods.

Can I comment here for the book giveaway? I am already a follower and I posted a link to your giveaway on my blog, www.picnicsinthepark.blogspot.com

Thanks,

Erika @ Oops! I Craft My Pants! said...

Oh my goodness. I didn't expect to see those here when I clicked on your blog!
Thank you so much. You are THE best.

Also, my husband and I were joking about the Mod Podging a pug thing yesterday. I asked him if it would be okay to Mod Podge Oscar's ears. He said no.
Dang.

Erika @ Oops! I Craft My Pants! said...

Um... Me and My half-sister just started our comments with "oh my goodness"... I swear I didn't see her post when I wrote that.

Just found this blog from a button on another crafters blog...you are right...ModPodge does Rock...

Lisa said...

Those are adorable. I wonder if it will work on my old pair of fake leather shoes that are all scuffed up. They couldn't look any worse than they do now! What a great idea.

Dragonfly Treasure said...

Too cute!!! Thanks for the visit, much appreciated! I have so much Mod Podge under my nails I don't think I'll ever get it all out! LOL I've been using SO much Mod Podge lately~ from the cinnamon apples you saw, to caramel apples, to my bathroom cabinets makeover. Currently doing a kitchen makeover that includes using it once again on cabinets...but in a different way....a much longer process. Wish I had them done, at that point where I want to go one do something else!!LOL

LOVE the second pair here. I must try that- perfect way to re-use old flats.
Also, love your blog- so much fun to read! Makes me wish I had more time on my hands. And I'm following the blog & on twitter.

Hey everyone, thank you for the great comments! As far as holding up, I've never made them, but I can offer you some tips for Mod Podge durability in general.

Just don't wear them while wet and soggy outside, and hit them with a spray outdoor sealer. This should help you get a lot of wear!

xo to all, your comments keep me going!!
