Our local neighborhood Dollar General had a bin of $6 shoes. Now generally the idea of $6 shoes (and more so the idea of a bin of shoes) would be a turn off unless they were a really good pair of shoes on a really good markdown. But seeing as this is Dollar General...well, you get my drift. Anyway, they've had this bin of $6 sneakers for a while, but never had a size that would fit anyone in our little tribe...that is until yesterday. I lucked up a pair of black knock off Chuck Taylors, size 9, just big enough for Bijou. Being the person that I am (I have a hard time leaving well enough alone), I decided to fresh them up with a custom paint job. I wanted to make sure that they still looked like a little girl's shoes without looking girlie. I think they came out very cute. After I painted the picture on them, I covered the entire painted area with a sparkly fabric paint. She gets her sparkly sneakers and I don't have to look at princess or daisies. Everyone's happy! I will post pictures of her wearing them as soon as I can.

how cute, but i am not that artistic...i will however consider this...my son is oftimes too big for the character shoes (he is a TALL 4 yo) so maybe i will try my hand at his favorite disney character on some shoes in the future...thanks for sharing
ReplyDeletego for it! I'd love to see them if you try it.
ReplyDeletethose are crazy awesome!!! LOVE!
ReplyDeletealso, happy birthday to Zion!
thanks Kirsten!
ReplyDeleteI love the shoes! Kids feet grow so fast, and when we need play shoes The $ store is a great spot.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Darcel. Kids shoes are such a ridiculously expensive thing, especially when you have four. But it's so hard to find shoes that aren't repulsive as well as inexpensive. I was happy to luck up on these simple black ones.
ReplyDeleteThis is just a genius idea! I'm doing it asap. Thank you!
