I’m a tad bit obsessed with ‘something blues’… after all I named this website after my ‘something turquoise’… have you chosen your special blue wedding item yet? If not, I think you should do this ~ simply paint the bottom of your wedding shoes blue! This is the perfect something blue for a crafty bride and makes for absolutely adorable pictures…

SUPPLIES:

• your special wedding shoes
• Martha Stewart Crafts paint in your choice of blue; these are in Pearl Aquarium
• MSC paint brush and stencil tape
• rubbing alcohol

Start by taping off the bottom area of each shoe – this is optional but better to be safe than sorry. Then throughly clean the area to be painted with rubbing alcohol.

Next, start painting! Depending on the color and finish of your paint choice, each shoe will require anywhere from 2 – 5 thin coats of paint.

In between each coat, you can save your paint and brush in a plastic baggie.

The paint needs to dry at least one hour in between each coat.

This shoe (with the pearl type paint finish) required 4 thin coats of paint.

Once you are happy with the paint coverage, carefully remove the tape.

There you have it ~ a fabulously crafty ‘something blue’ for under $5!

You could really have some fun with these shoes in photos!!!
