Welcome!

This little blog started on our wedding website, which kept family and friends up to date on the planning and details. Of course this is where we will provide all of the recaps of the wedding and everything after. We look forward to keeping family and friends up to date on our lives here in Texas and all of the adventures we share as newlyweds!

Weekend of Crafts-Revamp old heels

Everyone has a pair, the heels that have seen better days and are looking old and beaten from too many nights out?  The heels that you can't really wear unless they are completely covered up because they look that bad?  

Well worry no more!  I found a great idea to transform you not so classy heals into something a little like this  from a blog called Wobisobi that does lots of projects and re-styles
(her blog lists how she did this as well)

Here's what you'll need:


Pair of heels
Mod Podge
Glitter
Paint Brush
Cup for mixing

Start by mixing Mod Podge and Glitter into a cup so that you have a pretty heavy glitter mixture

Then start applying a thin coat to shoes (be sure to allow each coat to dry completely).

Don't worry this will dry white.  
 (Midway through the drying process of coat #5)

Keep adding coats until your shoes have the desired amount of glitter on them, I did about 6 coats total (with the help of Rene).

And here's the finished product!  Just in time for a great NYE party if you're going to one!
Next up I finally found clothes pins to make my Christmas Card Wreath for next year!
