Internet-Inspired Painted Pumps

If you need an excuse to turn off the TV, consider some fashion crafts for teens. Internet-Inspired Painted Pumps can be created using an old pair of heels and some paint. Add fun phrases like "LOL" and "FYI" - these shoes will sure speak for themselves.


 

Materials:

• High heels (color of your choice – this will be the color of the letters)
• Black gloss spray paint
• Craft foam letters (sticky) – various sizes and lettering
• Blue painters tape

Instructions:

1. Remove the paper backing from each letter and press onto shoe. Be sure that all edges of the letters are pressed down firmly so that you get a crisp image.
    
2. Use tape to protect the inside surfaces of the shoe from overspray. Cover the entire inside with overlapping strips of tape.
    
3. In a well-ventilated area (preferably outdoors), spray the entire outside of shoes with spray paint. Spray on one light coat. Let dry and spray on another light coat. Let dry completely.
    
4. Remove craft foam letters to reveal #hashtag words.
    
5. Remove tape from inside.
