DIY Upcycled Forest Heels

Do you have some old heels you love but are just getting, well, old? Here I will show you how to take a pair of old faux leather heels into forest princess ready!

here is what you need:

green acrylic paint

brown acrylic paint

paint brush

paint sponge brush

hot glue

super glue

varnish

moss

vine looking deco ( got mine from a craft store)

Make sure to clean any dirt or anything off your shoes before you paint them. Her are the shoes I chose for the project. I cut the bow off the side.

I used the paint sponge brush because it gave a moss looking appearance. The paint color is moss like. Use only a little paint for the first coat. I did two coats just to be safe but you can do one more if needed.

I used the paint brush for the heels because it made it look like wood along with a wood brown paint. I also did two coats.

Now when your paint is dry it is time to varnish. For this two I used the reg brush and did two coats of varnish on both the shoes and heels.

Now this is the most creative part of all, You need to get your moss and fake vines and so like a "landscape" on your shoes. I did the vine around the heel to look like it is growing up the heel. I used hot glue to secure then to the shoes.
