Hey peoples!! I’m sure many of you have seen all of those wonderful Mod Podge projects floating around the internet. From photo to wood transfers to repurposed tables, this wonderful adhesive gives crafters endless options to decoupage the ordinary to extraordinary. For the longest I’ve been wanting to decoupage some shoes but I was not willing to sacrifice a pair of pumps and run the risk of messing up. Hmm…just thinking about it, I could go to Goodwill and snag a pair to practice on.
With my paint brushes and sponges on hand and mod podge on deck I was more than ready to get my project started. So since I didn’t make it to Goodwill nor cared to go through my shoe stash I decided to break out the wooden clogs. Your probably thinking what in the world your doing with wooden clogs. Well close to 20 years ago my older Brother had the wonderful opportunity to travel with a group of students to Ghana. He asked me what I wanted for a souvenir, since one of his stops was in Amsterdam I wanted authentic wooden clogs. Yeah, I could of asked for fabric, a dress, wood carving decor, etc, no for some reason the first thing on my mind was wooden clogs.
Fast forward to today, more like decades later, I finally have the time and opportunity to give these sad wooden shoes an upgrade.
To cover my shoes I chose to use the pages from one of my fashion magazines. I wanted my shoes to be colorful, vibrant and funky.
With the paint brush, I applied the Mod Podge on both sides of the cutouts making sure the paper adhered to the surface of the shoe. 
After 2 1/2 hours of applying magazine cutouts and several finishing coats later my shoe was officially done. 
One is done time to do the other.

I am definitely ready to try this out on some fabric and upgrade my shoe game.
Till next time
Love Coco
