Bam! Minecraft shoes!

I know I shouldn't have delayed this post so long, but I was so busy that it took me longer to get them done that I had planned. 

My inspiration came from these shoes here, Kyozokicks.  About 6 months ago they made their way across my Pinterest and across Geekcrafts.com.  It wasn't long after that I decided to do a Minecraft party and had the idea to do my own pair.  I followed this tutorial here, except I used a more puffy type paint.  Little Bro helped me by doing all the gridding, I did the painting. 

They didn't come out nearly as perfect, but I still think they are radical.  J loves them.  He wore them today. 

Supplies:
-Shoes
-Fabric paints in 3 shades of green, and 1 shade of gray/silver, and black
-Popsicle stick
-Pencil
-Can of shoe waterproofer

This was my first time doing anything with shoes, and I am happy with the results.  It wasn't until later that we had a cool surprise when going to bed.  I was glad I could capture a good picture of them later.

Everyone in the house agreed this made the shoes a million times cooler.  If we were ravers we would be so hip happinen'. Or something.  that made me think of this.

Hope you enjoyed!

Minecraft birthday teaser

I'm so excited for J's party tomorrow! I was able to pull off almost everything I wanted to. I didn't get a piñata made. And I only have 1/2 of his gift completed. Technically though his birthday is on the 31st so I could always wait to give it to him till then. I am going to surprise him and I got his birthday off from work- he doesn't know yet.

Anycrap here is a preview of his gift. Just wait till you see all the rad prizes I made and the fun games, even a photo booth!

I hope all the guests love this party.
