a Happy Holiday Gift

TOM & HENRY GIFTS:

After hours of spraying and re-spraying yesterday, the coloured shoes have come out brilliantly, I have left them overnight to completely dry, and only the few gloss black ones I did for myself remain tacky to the touch.

 

You might need to spot re-touch some areas, where the hook was for example, but once they are dry, rub them over gently with a soft cloth, take them indoors, rally some help and add the finishing touches.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lemmy was lounging in front of the blazing range and reluctantly offered his help until he realised ribbon was involved, then he couldn't wait to 'help'!

 

 

 

 

 

Anyone who shops on-line and has cats will have a substantial collection of posh ribbons about the house, collect some of these up and you can finish your gifts.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have bowed mine at a top nail hole, but you can also span the ribbon from one hole to the opposite one and the shoe can be hung up.

Lemmy was helpful at the bow tying stage, and soon got to grips with all the different ribbons. I have used black ribbons here, because I want a chic look.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now I have to decide who gets what colour.

 

I'm tempted to keep them all because they are so lovely and personal too since they were once on Tom & more likely Henry, since he looses more shoes than Tom!...

 

...I wonder what colour Paul will choose?
