I am Hooked on These Shoes!
6:00:00 AM
I thrifted this great pair of vintage wooden shoe stretchers...
I thought they'd make great unique wall hooks...
This part was just crying out to be a hook...
And the Brooks Brothers agreed...
Step one was to hinge them together because they
bent in half easily...
I thought they should be monogrammed with
my husband and my initials so I used stickers as my stencils...
I stuck on the stickers and traced around them...
Then I painted inside the lines.
The next step was to distress the letters to match the old wood...
I added a hanger to the top of the shoes
and they were ready to hang...

Nice! To distress the letters - did you just sand lightly or do something else?

ReplyDeleteHey Susan - fabulous idea! I have to steal this one!
ReplyDeleteI have tried to reach you - guess you were busy. We live near each other - you had asked me about Chalk Paint and I emailed you back where I bought mine.
Send me an email, OK? I'd like to see if could start a Long Island Bloggers Meet Up. Would you be interested?
