I got these shoes at a thrift store and then decorated them with some cutouts from magazines and brochures from places I’ve been.

Abraham Lincoln silhouette on the right shoe and a picture of Indiana on the left.

Honest Abe and rhinestones…

…a painting from the Princeton Art Museum brochure and a zebra on the right, scotty dog on the left.

The gray section in the middle is actually a picture of this old movie theater in my hometown called The Artcraft. There is also a picture of the courthouse in my town on the other shoe.

The courthouse clock can be seen here. The quote from a Philadelphia brochure. And more Indiana, of course.

Marilyn Monroe and more rhinestones.

And of course, the Midwest. 🙂

How to Make these Shoes:

These shoes were made by just hot-gluing the pictures on and then adding Shoe Goo on top. (You can find Shoe Goo in Walmart, Target, or any other store like that.) You spread the Shoe Goo with an ice cube and it does not stick to everything. I used Shoe Goo instead of Mod Podge because the Shoe Goo is flexible and it won’t crack like Mod Podge. 🙂
