So, as a family were off on our first ever trip to Disneyland Paris soon!!! To say I'm excited is an understatement!
We're doing a big reveal in a couple of weeks to Miss Iz & Mstr J. I've gone a bit crazy buying clothes, badges etc etc for the reveal & the trip!
Then, I saw on a Facebook page I'm on that someone had done their own shoes!! I NEEDED some! Not the same design, but something more me!
So off I went to the local cheap clothing store (primani). Found some £3 white canvas pumps for me, perfect!! Then while browsing, I saw little white pumps in Miss Iz's size!! LIGHTBULB MOMENT!!!!!! I could do us matching shoes!!
We have a mutual love for princess Belle, so she was my first thought, but any ideas I had were a bit beyond my capabilities! Then it came to me, Minnie!! Good old simple, but effective & much loved Minnie Mouse!!
I googled some images & found this one
Perfect!!
So, the how to part....
First, freehand I used a pencil, so as not to destroy the shoes!! I drew the outline. Then once happy, I used a staedtler fine liner pen to go over the outline.
Step 1 below ....
I was pretty pleased at this point & tempted to stop there! But I decided I'd do what I set out to.
I ordered some fabric paints from Amazon. Only cheapie ones as I didn't want to waste money on what could ultimately become a disaster!!
I was originally going to use my sharpies, but people online warned me they could spread/run!
Once they came I did the bows first!
Step 2 below....
Again I was so pleased I was tempted to stop here! But as before I told myself to see it through.
Next step was the black.
Step 3 below.....
So now they are drying!
All that is left to do is give them a covering of modge podge to seal the design in case they get wet!!
Bring on Disney! I'm so excited if hurts!!!
And now I can't wait to wear our matching mummy & daughter shoes!!
