What do you do when something is just not ready to wear out?
I have had something like that with me for the past eight years and it’s still in good condition. The only thing is that I am super bored of its plain and dull look. It’s my slippers…..yes you heard it right. Please don’t laugh or make fun of me. They are really boring, have a look…….
and they are too common.
and they are too common.
So what do you suggest I should do with these slippers………..
Well, kitsch and decoupage have been on my mind for a long so why not fulfill both desires and at the same time give a new look to the extremely boring slippers?
- Colorful paper cuttings from a Magazine
- Scissors
- White water-based glue
- Acrylic Medium/ Modpodge
- Brush
- Varnish
1. I washed it and then let it dry completely. applied acrylic medium on the surface and put paper cutting.
2. Then I applied acrylic medium on the paper that I pasted. Kept on doing steps 1 and 2 until the surface was all covered with paper. Let it dry.
3. Then I mixed 1 part glue in 1 part water applied it properly on the surface and pasted a cutting of this cute doll that I found in a magazine. Let it dry.
4. After it was completely dried I gave two coats of varnish and it is almost waterproof and that’s how it looks now!!
I am happy with the outcome. Though I don’t know how long it will last I am happy that it is not an eyesore anymore. I love wearing it 🙂
Some more clicks…………
