Altered Vintage Shabby Chic Shoe

When I first saw the ladies on Youtube altering shoes.....I put it on the top of my Scrappy "To Do" list.....My list kept growing with all of these "Fab" projects I wanted to do ....and finally the altered shoe was lost in the list ...and very soon forgotten.....Well, Janet November over at MAS started making pin cushions......I have a few of those I will post too....But when she did her altered shoe Pin cushion.....I just had to go ahead and alter my shoe (well, not mine per se....I went to the thrift store and purchased  a pair of shoes..hehe) .....This was soooo much fun...I was really excited about altering this shoe....as I collect miniature shoes...I love ...love ...love shoes.....(hehe..)...as a lot of us do....I did not make it a pin cushion ...but merely made it to display on my candy station ....Stay tuned for pics of my candy station also....It's a work in progress....I used a canvas covered shoe that I purchased from my local thriftshop.....loads of trims, beads, ribbons, IAR flowers, recollections bling and appliques.....I think this is a great addition to my candystation......and soooo shabby chic....TFL

2012- "Creative Minds-Enter into the World of New Beginnings"- Altered Canvas using handmade Shabby Chic Treasures



I came across a YT video by SACrafter making the Prima Shabby Chic Treasure windows, doors and shutters.....So I decided to give them a try.......These are the windows, doors (red-below ) and shutters That I made (pictured above )......I used Corrugated Cardstock by Canvas Corp, LLC. .....They come in 12x12 sheets...I found it very easy to work with ..and it saved me time of  stripping and cleaning a cardboard box.  I also did the crackled technique on all of the pieces....I finally decided to make a "Red" door and just had to incorporate it into a project......I altered a canvas...and used one of the red doors...

Okay....I'm off to make more....to make them or for instructions you may want to check out SACrafters YT videos..I did not follow her instructions totally ...but was able to create them using the basis of her instructions........She does a great job with making these.....Thanks for the inspiration lady......

 




This is the canvas I made using the handmade Shabby Chic Door.......
