Hello fellow crafters,

Have you ever painted your shoes? It’s easy and fun. I have actually made several painted shoe projects over the years and these boots are my latest creation. You might be curious what would possess someone to paint a pair of boots green as it is not the most prevalent shoe color.

It all started because we had plans to visit the Saint Patrick’s Day Parade this year and so wearing green was a must. Now my philosophy is, if you are going to be silly dressing for an occasion you might as well take it over the top, especially on Saint Patrick’s Day. Right? So after creating these green tops I decided to make myself some green shoes to match.

You really don’t need a lot of fancy supplies. I have used all kinds of different paints on my projects including left over house paint. In this case I did splurge and purchase two different colors of green paint.

Supplies

• DecoArt Sage Green All Purpose Acrylic Paint
• DecoArt  Plantation Pine Acrylic Paint
• Minwax water based Polycrylic (I love this stuff I have used it on so many of my projects)
• Two paint brushes (one nice brush with a soft flat straight tip for painting and one all purpose brush to use with the polycrylic finish
• Scissors
• E6000 Clear Glue
