Scrap Happy Shoes Tutorial

If you need to do a quick fix on a pair of shoes or just want to make them a little more fun, have I got the tutorial for you.  First you need a pair of shoes.  Our shoes were slightly injured in some outdoor activities.
Here are the supplies that you will need:  Mod Podge, fabric scraps, scissors, a paint brush and x-acto or utility knife.
Before, you begin you need to clean the shoes really well.  Cover the area in which you would like to put the fabric generously with glue.  I cut the fabric in stripes for the desired pattern I wanted.
After you are finished covering the area with fabric, cover it with more of the Mod Podge.

I then trimmed the excess fabric off with a sharp pair of scissors.  Make sure that you wash the scissors off well after you cut the fabric.
I wanted to add a little variation to the front of the shoes, so I cut out three little hearts to add to the toe and did the same as above.

Last, I decided to add a little bling to the back of the shoe.

And there you have it, cute Scrap Happy Shoes!!

Scrap Happy Shoes

We ran into a little problem with a pair of dress shoes.  Of course, we will be needing them very soon for an occasion.  Well, this is what they looked like....
a mess!! I had used a sharpie marker on the scuff mark.  It took away the white, but the material was all rolled over and awful looking.  So, we of course decided to take action.  It is so hard to find a pair of shoes that your kids like and still look like kid shoes.  And this is what we came up with..
Super cute shoes, that would bring out the kid in all of us.  An easy fix to a big mess!
