Remember a few weeks ago when I painted a pair of TOMS for my 22yr old? Well, little sister decided she wanted a pair as well!
We used the same canvas style as the first pair. My youngest daughter is 13. Like her big sister, she searched online for pictures of designs she liked and printed them out for me to use as inspiration. She also chose the paint colors.
She wanted a tropical flower, a wave pattern, a green zebra stripe, her initial "K" on the side (not visible) and pink wings on the heels!
The scripture she chose is "The shall mount up with wings as eagles" Isaiah 40:31, which we put on the inner side of each shoe. She wanted this scripture to reference the pink wings!
When we were finished painting, we used good 'ole E-6000 to glue the crystals across the seam of the toe!
She was so excited! When I finished and told her she could wear them the next day she said, "I already have my outfit all picked out!"
Isn't it a great feeling when you can truly please your kids? Especially your teenage kids!
Blessings!
