Shoe Art!

During "The Elves and the Shoemaker" we create our own Shoe Art!


Begin by gathering shoes.  Each child will need one shoe.


Next, prepare the shoe by spray painting it.  I have used gold, silver, red, and even black!


To decorate, gather a variety of baubles, beads, trim and feathers.


I like using the Golden Gel Medium as it will hold the baubles and not fall off.  I put a scoop of the medium in little cups with a stick.


Let the children create their own shoe masterpieces!




I display the shoes in a little "Shoe Museum" in the hallway.
