painting shoes??

[lorijohnhill]

My daughter just outgrew her Minnie Mouse sparkly yellow heels that go with the costume. They don't seem to make them in the next larger size. I was wondering if anyone has any experience with spray painting or somehow painting shoes? If I find a pair of low heels that fit her, can I paint them and then glitter them to look like the real thing?

Lol... I asked this question around 11 years ago when planning my wedding! I got some strange looks inquiring about shoe paint at the craft store. I just bought craft paint (acrylic Iirc) and hoped for the best (found shoes I liked at a second hand store). I wanted gold shoes so I bought a gold metallic paint and it worked perfectly! I'm not sure exactly the look your going for but maybe a bright yellow acrylic paint, there may even be paint with glitter already in it. Another option could be glueing little yellow crystals (cheap ones not Swarovski). Good luck!

Thank you so much! This will be great! We will be hitting up our favorite thrift store seeking the perfect shoe to paint.
