Fashion Week Day 2-Sheet music shoes

My daughter saw these here and thought they were the cutest things ever. I thought covering your shoes w/ paper was weird, but I was wrong-they are adorable. The originals were covered w/ book pages. Instead we covered ours w/ sheet music. It would be cool to make them out of your favorite song, but these were just too random sheets that I literally got out of the recycle bin in the garage.

Basically you just cut your sheet music (we used 2 sheets) up into pieces and paint modge on top. We did probably 4-5 layers of modge podge, letting each layer dry in between.
Tips: -the smaller squares work better
-If you cut small slits in the paper, it helps it curve better
-I put a line of tape on the inside of her shoe, so the paper would rub her feet.
She’s wearing them today-I’ll let you know if they all fall apart.

***UPDATE: They ripped a little at the front of the shoes (wear her toes start). We're going to repair them and do another test run. She probably walks a few miles each day at school so I think it's a pretty good field test.
