Comic Book Shoes

Yes, you read that title right... I made comic book shoes!!! I'm not sure if I have mentioned it lately but Modpauge and I have become quite close... in fact I think sewing machine and glue gun are starting to notice and might be getting a bit jealous LOL!

So I got these plain white kinda boring flats from Wal-Mart and thought what can I do with these to make them look a bit more "Zazzy" (Say it like Sheldon from BBT lol!) and then it hit me!... why not modpauge something on them?... I had just bought this big bottle of modpauge from hobby lobby (while it was on sale) and what better way to break it in. It pained me a little to be cutting up a comic book... what a HUGE no no... but it's a new one and there was nothing significant about it other than the pages were really bright and it had some of my favorite hero's in it. So I bit my lip and tore off some pages to cut out strips to modpauge to my shoes, and so began my project. And I have to say it was pretty easy... a little messy, but easy. And now I LOOOOOOOVE them... I have slapped on about 4 coats of modpauge and then sprayed them with clear coat from krylon juuuuuuust to make sure they are sealed pretty good... but I don't think I'll be wearing them in the rain just because I would cry (ALOT) if they got ruined. Anyway here they are... let me know what you think? :)

Oh, Please excuse the white spots that's just the modpauge drying...

I got a little eager to take pics and post them to my facebook without letting
them dry fully... what can I say? I got a little excited lol!

I even put Green Lantern on my shoes.

And Wahla! Ready to go! :D
