make your own witch shoes

 

Have you noticed me partnering up with some of the cutest ladies around blogland? This month we’re back at it… and making all sorts of be-WITCH-y ideas for Halloween. To celebrate all things pointy hat and broom, we came up with a bunch of yummy treats, printables, decor and party favors to celebrate those wonderful wicked women… and I made my very own WITCH SHOES! With this tutorial, you can make your own witch shoes, too!

Make witch shoes for halloween!

Ok, now lets get to making some sparkly shoes!

Witches shoes for #halloween - such a fun craft!

 

First, you’ll need a pair of old pumps. I found some brand new, never been worn gold pumps at goodwill for $2. Sold!

Next, grab some cardboard.You’ll make a tall heel “collar” out of two strips of cardboard, and a large V shape to give the front of the shoe a little wing.

I also cut out two long triangles to put in front of the shoe to make a point.

Using packing, washi, or painters tape, adhere the cardboard cutouts to the shoe. Mold and move the tape to look the way you’d like the shoe to finish- its a kind of improv paper-mache.

When you like the shape, coat the tape with mod podge to make it softer and smooth out any lines and bumps (like you would paper mache). Let dry.

When dry, paint shoe colors you will ultimately be glittering it. This helps to give the illusion of better glitter coverage since it sometimes can apply funny.

When paint is dry, “paint” over each area you’d like a certain color in mod podge or glitter adhesive, and add glitter. I added two purples silver and orange for a spooky look- but you could do any color you like.

Let dry, and you’re done!

make your own witch shoes using old pumps and tape!

And the BEST part of all of this?? The folks at Martha Stewart wanted to get in on the fun Halloween action and share their most recent Halloween magazine, a pumpkin witch’s caldron tutorial AND….an AWESOME giveaway of Martha Stewart Halloween crafts!
