Candy + shoes = awesome!
July 8, 2011
Yea! Once I had the right glue, these were super easy to put together. I used contact cement (after failing miserably with Modge Podge) and applied the glue in thick globs, dividing the shoe into 4 parts: toe, heel, instep, and – er – outstep? Then pressed the glue covered area into a large tupperware filled with nonpareils. I used red licorice ropes to line the shoe and glued a sort of bow on the top.
Let it dry, spray with sealant, and tada! Candy shoes!
I know I took more progress images but I can’t find them anywhere. I can be trigger happy with the delete button.
A few sprinkles have escaped, but not many. Really, the licorice bow is the most fragile part of the shoe.
