One of my Great Grandmother Polly's most favorite creative activities is painting her shoes. This is a spin off of her love for recreating her footwear in a creative and inexpensive way. I just grabbed a pair of plain taupe flats with short heels out of my closet and decided to spice them up.. here is how you can do the same!
After the bows were sewn, I placed them on top of my shoe at the desired spot and poked my needle through the shoe and stitched it tight. You can sew your bows absolutely anywhere on your shoes! Have fun with it :)
I used Prismacolor markers to draw the cloud designs before the bows were sewn on :)
love, polly :)
