What is a Shoe Shrine? A Shoe Shrine is a shoe, sandal or boot that you pick out that is maybe vintage looking.

For some creative inspiration: click here

I picked up a pair at our local thrift store and they are so cool. The heels measure about 3.5 inches and the shape of the shoe is quite interesting.

This is US only

One partner

The amount to be spent on this? Craft it as if you were sending it to your best friend!

Ideas for the shrine:

  • Paint it - I would use Gesso first so that your other paint or embellishments stick. Paint it any color you wish.

  • Glue on sequins or any other type of embellishment you wish.

  • Use Modge Podge to add some interesting pics or stamps.

  • Use ribbons, buttons, brads, studs...etc.

  • The inside or your shrine can be a pocket to "add" something special for your partner from their profile.

  • The ideas are endless so be creative.

Take your time, be creative as I know you will be. If you need some inspiration just look up "shoe shrines".

Not really related but kinda. I was at the thrift store today looking for shoes again in case I found a better one.. and I found a pair of plain colored wooden clogs from holland! How amazing is that? Not that i'm using them but I had to get them!!
