Sorry about the lack of posts...
we have been traveling, and I let the blogging slip.
:(
Anyway, I am back with another post!

So....my mom just gave me an old dress of hers. The fabric was beautiful!
and...
I had this OLD pair of canvas shoes.
Let's just say they looked their age. Which isn't saying much.
They were practically falling apart.
So I decided to try covering them with fabric, a technique which I saw a while ago.
I cut two scraps of the old dress, one for each shoe.
Then, I pulled out the old faithful Elmer's glue and started in, coating the whole shoe with glue, sticking the cloth on, and coating some more. Then I cut edges and folded the fabric into the shoe's hole.

After a night or two, they finally dried.
:P
Yes, these shoes won't hold up long in the rain.
Actually, they didn't hold up long just walking around on a sunny day.
But if you used Tacky, (which I didn't happen to have) it might be a different story!
(you can see in this picture how dirty and old the shoes were...)
Anyway, they were fun for a while.
If you ever need a different colored pair of shoes and don't want to spend the money, try this!
